I have know idea if they have different damping rates ????
But if you have standard/slightly oversize wheels you could just replace the original unit if it's knackered.

Not a lot from what i've seen. To the point they are pretty much identical.

I've got the rough country damper. Seems fine. Been on 3+ years and hasn't shown any signs of wear or leaks.

Sounds like a good enough idea. I just ended up with rough country as i bought a boat load of gear off llama and thats the ones he stocks.
