I have put 4000+ miles on the front end/straight axle/transfer case/four wheel drive.
That damper came with the new front suspension so I don't know a before and after, but it's the same damper+- on those fancy new Yellowstone winter access vehicles(they were building them alongside mine) and on the antarctic support/exploration trucks.
I asked about its miniscule looks when I picked up the 24.1
They kinda chuckled and said I'd be fine.
I have been fine.
It's the same make/model damper the builder has on his converted vehicle. His is a big Nissan van converted to 4x4.
It works, but the straight axle is night and day better than the original 2wd IFS, so it's hard to tell what's what.
For the $100+- I'd sure as hell try a Rancho or bilstien or anything else before I fell for any $3,000 dealer fluff.
Dual Rancho or Bilsteins dampers, according to the link I provided, are under $150 bucks with the install parts.
