That right there tells me, what else did they do to keep the cost down. Just kind of makes you wonder.....

The company that owns Jake's has a very large China based manufacturing tie. my guess is, it won't be long until everything Jake's is not longer made in the USA if the past is any indication of the future.

See these companies get so carried away and worry more about quantity over quality and that is not what I like.

Thats another turn off right there. CHINA=FAIL

Just remember the good ole saying, you get what you pay for!!

Just some food for thought.....

You are correct, I have never owned one. I would like to but since they are shutting down production on it I probably never will..... The question is, if the kit is so great, why are they gonna stop making them?

no, you do not HAVE to modify it out of the box. The kit rides quite well for MOST applications and most people would never notice the difference. I mention the change of shocks because I am aware that Lizard isn't most people and would likely want the best performance from the unit.

yeah, that was a concern for my as well, hopefully they don't do it. One of the best things to me was the fact that Jakes uses all American made components right down to the steel they form the kit from.

Don't bet on this to continue under a majority Chinese ownership ......
