Default Best 4x4 Axle Actuator?

It hasn't even been a year and I'm replacing the actuator again. The sidewall rubber has a small tear in it. I don't recall what brand I bought last time but it was cheap. Right now I'm looking at the Dorman OE Solutions actuator claiming to have reinforced the rubber on the sides. Anyone have experience? I know Dorman is pretty notorious, but I don't see any options that offer any kind of solution to the tearing. I don't want to keep replacing this stupid thing.

Thanks!

Bravada axle swap or the more expensive aftermarket axle swap.

There's also a thread on here on how to make it into a pull cable setup.
