I ran EFS shocks which were great & I'm running a fully loaded GQ shorty with hard shell rooftop tent.
I have just changed to Kings remote canister 2.5 smoothies adjustable but haven't tried them out yet.

Tough dog foam cell shocks, big bore type I think.
No probs so far touch wood, about 10000 ks on them. They have done corrugations but not for hours on end. Have also done some hard 4wheeling and coped well.
I did find the suspension a little firm at first, but that could have been the springs too. Now it's settled in its very good.
I run the Tough Dog 45mm adjustables here mate. No issues from me, but i havent realy had anything to compare.

So been looking and come up with Amada Xtreme Aventure shocks with a 40mm Teflon coated piston
anyone used these or know some one who has
I have the Amada Remote Res shocks on the GQ and very happy with them. How much do they want for the extremes? If you can stretch your budget to a Remote Res shock then they are the next step up for performance on Corrugations which is where you need them to function. great for touring.
In saying that though, when we did the Madigan Line the hilux with us had Brand New Remote Res shocks on his and had taken off OME before the trip, I cant remember the brand of the shocks but it will come to me... Known Brand name.... They failed. When we pulled them out in the middle of nowhere and compared to the OME the OME won hands down for strength and build quality.
The ones I was looking at are twin tube to fit the GU $120 a corner the chap from Superior Enginenering reckons there ok for what I wantQuote:

Keep saving till you really need to change them, you may have enough for something
a bit better,
OOI didnt ARB sell a remote cannister shock years ago.
Had OME's on the last troll which were great. Went for Lovells in The shocks and springs this time, 2" lift with HD for extra weight carry and they have not dissapointed at all, handle well on the black stuff as well as off road and are not too stiff.
they have a new one out now john look up there siteQuote:
