The Electric Trailer Brake Kit part # AKEBRK-35-SA which is just part # AKEBRK-35L-SA and part # AKEBRK-35R-SA combined is made overseas. The Dexter Nev-R-Adjust Electric Trailer Brake Kit part # 23-468-469 is made right here in the USA and are of a much higher quality in my option. The level of quality is also reflected in the warrary as the etrailer brand braking assemblies come with a one year warranty and the Dexter brand braking assemblies come with a five year warranty.
