It's pricey but make sure they address the needs/requirements for the rear axles.

I actually witnessed what happens if they don't. Going down I-40, headed east. Tow truck pulling a semi. He was in the slow lane and I was in the middle. Luckily, no one was beside me. I was slowly gaining on him when there was a loud BOOM and sure enough, the center hub came flying out into the middle lane.
I was able to swerve and miss only by the grace of God, there was no one to my left so I could use part of the third lane. It seemed quite large as I passed it. Had I hit it, it would have done significant damage to the underside.
