Rear shock replacement 1 or 2

Hi All, I had a 2 inch lift done by Fulcrum Suspension in Brisbane about 50,000 klm ago and am very happy with it. I’ve just had one rear shock replaced under warranty as the lower bush de-bonded. The other rear shock looks fine but I’m soon to head off around Australia towing a 1650 kilo caravan. Should I replace the other rear shock as a precaution? Thanks for your help

With 50000 on it and one new one on the other side, I’d change it. Cost of 1 shock and 30 minutes at home to fit, then you know the rear is all good to go.

50,000 and they only replaced one... Any decent shop should replace it as a pair, that's half a shocks life gone.
