    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.
    93 GQ wagon, RB30, extractors, 2 inch tough dog lift, 5 spd, A/T KO2 32's, steel winch bar, rated recovery points, red arc dual battery set up, rhino roof racks, UHF etc etc. Slow and steady might not win the race but it gets me there eventually...

    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.
    Its a Nissan! =====> Its a Keeper!! ....... Got a TD42 in it BONUS!! ....... I'm a lucky bugger! I've got 2 of em!

    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.

    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 want
    would luv a set of remotes but don't want a divorce either but been told to get good ones
    if they put these on comp cars and trucks they must have some good in them or they wouldn't be around

    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.
    Seemed like a good idea at the time
