    Don't listen to that guy. Anyone who recommends spacers rather than better quality shocks doesn't know what he is talking about.

    I off road on a regular basis and I can guarantee that the Billies (I have OME 888 coils to provide lift with no pre-load) are far superior to stock (or Monroe shocks) for off pavement trails. If all you are doing is providing lift for looks, spacers are fine. I prefer to use the truck for getting off the beaten path.

    TBH not sure where the OEM one is made, likely somewhere in The States or Mexico.

    The real thing to consider is how many more people own a China grille vs an OEM one.

    Hardly anyone had them a year ago, now you see one at every red light.
