Where Is Firestone Ride Rite Air Suspension Kits Made

Question

Question:

Since Ive recently purchased so many pieces of equipment made by reputable manufacturers, only to find they were made in China I have what might seem like a stupid question. Where are the airbags made? Are they made in this country or simply assembled here of inferior material imported from China? No offense intended but Im absolutely fed up with being screwed by people passing things off as being American made only to find that theyre Genuine imported from a country that doesnt even know the meaning of quality control. Id like to buy the air bags but want to know for sure that Im getting something worth putting on my pristine 2009 Silverado 1500.
