Factory in China. Doesn't mean it's not solid, just where it's made.

My TJ is American made,so I would prefer to put American aftermarket products on it
Except for the OEM parts from Mexico, Canada, Germany...
No doubt the most likely place! And my statement as to its construction wasn't based on country of origin but because I’ve pulled with it, been pulled by it & made inadvertent contact with enough stationary objects on tight trails
to know how it performs. I've come to appreciate it more & more the longer I have it, I'd like to know who made it so I could recommend it...
No doubt it has served you well. There's enough of these bumpers around, and I haven't heard any issues with them failing, strength-wise, just comments about the powder coat perhaps not being so great, but few of those. I ran Smittybilts front and rear on my '03 X years ago, and they are still holding up on that TJ today.No doubt the most likely place!

Your preference, no complaint about that. Not everyone's, though.

I'm just tired of all the Chinese stuff flooding Our Markets, and wondering if there are any good AMERICAN products still being made for our TJ's??
Sure...JCR, Savvy, BDS, JKS, GenRight, etc. Lots of companies are still producing stuff in the USA. Generally not the stuff you get on Amazon tho...but I think Currie does sell on Amazon. They don't make much in the way of armor though.

Thanks as I'm new to JEEPs this is my first one,birthday present from family not bad for being 57
Plenty. Problem is, you have to search long and hard to find competitively priced American made bumpers. Dirtworx is definitely competitive, even less than some Chinese versions. You just have to apply the finish of choice yourself.
Add LOD in West Lafayette* IN to the list, they'll cut you a discount if you pick up at their shop.

Question; Are Paramount products good quality? I've seen their sliders on ebay for under $200 with steps, but I'd never heard of them.

A few more to add to @Ranger_b0b list;
Dirtworx
Motobilt
And doing the finish yourself can be an advantage, especially for rear bumpers and sliders that will probably get banged up. Much easier to touch up yourself.
Paramount is probably as good as all the other resellers that offer that same bumper.
