I have an RK Max Travel kit in my jeep. I am quite happy with it, and have no complaints about it at all. Today on my local forum, one of the vendors claimed that RK kits are just pieced together with parts from other manufacturers. The gist I got from his post was that RK doesn't actually make anything, they just buy it, piece it together and ship it out. He listed 3 other manufacturers and was basically saying you could get the same parts from them and know where they were coming from. I would copy his exact post, but the whole thread had disappeared. Is there any truth to this?
Gotta love the Internet! For those of you who have actually come to our facility, you actually have seen first hand what we do and what we make in house! The only thing we do not make in house are as follows; coil springs and sheetmetal components. Our laser cutter for sheetmetal is right down the road from us and our coil springs are made in the states! We are honest and open about how we do things and we allow the public into our facility.

Yes Dan you are right! Our bad. Our Heims are made by FK whom is known as one of the industry's best and they are very close to us as well.

Our Joints are done in house and people are more than welcome to stop by and watch us assemble them all day long! It is actually painfully boring!

We do source where appropriate! We do not make our own hardware and some small items as well. It would be unreasonable to think that a manufacturer truely manufacturer's everything. Some "manufacturers" do not actually make a thing. They design it all, source it all, put it in a box and call it theirs! That is just not what we do!
