In a word, YES.

Standard shocks you have no control over the compression or extension.

SA, you can adjust how fast they extend but not compress.

DA, you can really fine tune you shocks to suit them to what you need.

I'm assuming you have singles now and want to know
if the DA are better. With a ladder bar you are really
trying to separate the body from the rear suspension
so you need a good adjustment on extension. The DA
adjustable will give you the control for the extension
but it also gives you the compression adjustment for
the down track(thats where you might need the DA)
but to me the DA doesnt help the off the line
I'm talking on a ladder bar now.... with a 4-link
the DA can help(depends on the IC settings)
