Definitely worth the extra money compared to regular shocks
Bought and put these on my 2012 F-150 crew cab that I was experiencing a "squirrely" rear end when I hit bumps. The old shocks were definitely worn, and needed to be replaced. So far these new shocks are great for daily driving, I have not towed or hauled anything yet, but I think they will work good in that application based on the results I have seen just in daily driving with them.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend
