Has anyone here have a bad experience with Skyjacker Nitro shocks?

I bought my first set back in 1999 when Skyjacker was proud to claim "made in USA".
Those shocks lasted eight years before showing any signs of needing replacement.

Last November, I replaced them with another set of Skyjacker Nitros because I was very happy with the original purchase.
I gladly purchased the new ones instead of turning into the warranty dept. under the lifetime warranty.

First thing I noticed was "made in Mexico" was printed on shock and I was a little taken aback.

Come January (less than 2 months later), One of the shocks sprang a leak and was blowing hydraulic fluid all over the place.

I called Summit Racing (kudos to them for their customer service)and they replaced it for me.
I subsequently replaced the shocks on my FSB with new Skyjackers also, thinking that the blown shock was a fluke.

Much to my surprise, another shock that I purchased last November has sprung a leak too.
Thanks Summit for replacing this one also under Skyjackers lifetime warranty, but come on Skyjacker!! Where did the quality go??
I hope I'm not in for constantly dealing with blown shocks!!

Any similar stories about Skyjacker shocks?

 

Some of us mexicans like to slack of every now and then!!!!!!!!!!! jk jk

 

I use Gabriel Ultras and other Gabriels, all made in Mexico, no problem, there's probably an internal seal or other component that they "cheaped up" that's not up to snuff that's failing. My friend uses Skys and he likes them, his are a few years lod now although.
