From what I've read/heard, the ones sold by All ***** is the way to go. No personal experience yet, but I plan to install All ***** at the first tire change on my '15 Limited, regardless.

I have heard the opposite about all *****. Those bearings linked are made in China. Are they worth a crap or not?

Planning ahead, I looked at All ***** for an OEM replacement and they too are made in frigg'n China...just like OEM. So where's the benefit/improvement??

Ya might as well stay with HD Chinese as All ***** Chinese. WTF...I don't think we make anything here in the USA anymore.

How do you know they're made in China? Not being a smartass here... I have this very set at home. NOWHERE on the damn thing is it marked with country of origin.

That would worry me right there. There are worse places than China (is that possible) for bearings.

I thought imported items HAD to be marked with country of origin. US made, I thought was exempt. But I could be wrong...

I used the amazon link above and it said country of origin China.
Edit: also the picture shows KML as the manufacturer. Here: http://http://www.kml-bearing.com/en/index.php

Now all of the above could be wrong, because the picture could be an example.

Dunno...never heard that. I hope you're right though, I'd buy a set right now if true.
