Time For A New Steering Damper

Just wondered if ya'll had any suggestions for a replacement, the Original has to be shot after 52000 miles. Seems everybody makes one, whats the best. I do have the 2"add a leafs on the front and 285's if that makes any difference.

Do you have a 4 wheel drive or a 2 wheel. I have a 2 wheel drive and I went with the fabtech aftermarket one. Its a dual piston design for a 2 wheel drive which is normally only found on the 4x4's. You can look at there web site at fabtechmotorsports.com.

I dont have them in yet but when I do I will post the results and if they are worth it.
