Steering Dampener advice

OK, I installed a new OE replacement dampener about a year and half ago. Now its leaking. With a non-lifted 4x4 Ex v10, should I bite the bullet and buy a 2 shock dampener? I run 275/65/18 LTX 10 plys. could these be making a difference to the dampener?

Thanks for your advice...

Some will disagree, but unless your rig is lifted, I'd stick with a single damper.

Really too many options to list here. From mild lifts to wild lifts. Back to the steering stabilizer, go with a quality aftermarket replacement, the stock ones don't last as long.
