hd monroes but only done 100km max on them not much help i know but they were cheap
if its worth doin its worth over doin

I think it all depends on what type of driving your doing.
I've ran EFS, ironman and tough dog. The later two as a foamcell. Never had a problem with any. However I have heard that the foamcell doesn't like hours of corrugated roads.
Other thing is for you want adjustable ones?

I have had a couple of sets of arb old man emu shockers and never had a problem. My use is more weekend 4x4ing rather than any hardcore trips across Australia.

Roofy I have Old Man Emu Sport shocks in the GUIV. This lift went in 120,000kms ago and I have no intention or need to swap it out at this stage. Very very pleased with it mate.

The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

Bilstein are a very good shock and can be rebuilt. We fit a lot to 4wd's at work and customers are very happy.
In the words of a Dhuck "QUACK".

Yeah mine are the standard OME nitro's, put them in a couple of years ago into GU7. Wife complains they are too stiff but she is used to a vehicle built for comfort, not adventure. Had a set that looked exactly the same 15 years ago in a 4runner. Haven't changed their branding in a while but reliable shocker IMO

OME sports are a bit stiff compared to the older nitros when unloaded but for what you need your car to do they are a good shock.
