These guys are forum vendors and I think they give a forum discount. At least its more info for your research. I have no idea on where they are as far as pricing goes though:

This one is really popular, and all US made, supposedly. I've never heard any complaints about it.

Your general location would help but I will throw this out anyway. A lot of car people in the DC area deal w/ Greg Smith Equipment in Del I think.

Well they are a larger company than I was aware of.

Wildfire, Advantage, Steel Valley
These two are very high quality made in China, and use square enclosed posts with redundant locking systems for safety.
Some have called these two backyard buddy on steroids.

I went with the advantage lift DX-9000 XLT Call them for a better price than what you see on the website.
If you're dead set on made in USA check out this site (which includes the BackYardBuddy, I believe they bought out BYB)

Good luck with your search.
