Ok just received an email back from Dorman.

Dorman's are Made in Taiwan.

FWIW, I make a distinction between “Made in Taiwan” and “Made in China.” Taiwanese stuff is generally better quality, in my experience. Preference of origin for me is:

1) USA
2) Canada
3) Germany
4) UK
5) Mexico

Sometimes you don’t have a choice.

The lowers they make are for S10's 95 and up I think.

You have to drill out the chassis side lower control arm mount bolt hole one size up or change the bushings in the new arms to GBody size ones

Summit sells the upper arms too. $125, but free shipping. Rock Auto is 104 + shipping.
Summit arms as of now 1/23/19, wouldn't ship until 2/7/19.

I would flip flop 1 and 2 for obvious reasons being from Canada. Three and four agree for sure, 3 especially for engineering. I would put Japan up there way over Mexico, high quality and they are a first world country. I would honestly go Chinese or probably Taiwanese first over Mexico for quality on certain things. I would definitely support many European products, Scandinavian countries especially. My reason is you know those workers have the same and dare I say maybe better quality of lives than us over here.
