Anyone know who manufactures these? Are they any good? Uppers w/grease fittings (part #104251) for $18.88 each.

They are most likely rebranded moogs. Napa likes to take big manufacturers like wix and have their name slapped on the label.

Taiwan, actually. That was my reaction too, awfully cheap. These days though Asian-made doesn't automatically mean junk (hey, they've got zerks so they're already better than Dodge). Just wondering if anybody knew for sure. Think I'll give them a shot. The hardest part of this job is cutting the rivets off the OEMs - even if I had to replace these again in a couple of years it wouldn't exactly break my heart.

Dan-
I think the regular Napa Chassis Parts line is different from what they're calling their Master Ride line. The NCP stuff is probably the major manufacturer units with the Napa name on them. The MR units look to be pretty well made though they must be coming from some cheaper source.
