Hi guys, first time posting on here and just looking for a bit of advice on shocks for my 82 mq patrol. I am getting the Dobinsons 7 pack springs 40mm raise (unless you guys have better recommendations) and am now looking into a set of quality shocks front and rear to go along with them, ill be using the old girl for touring so ill be going remote frequently, will defiantly be taking her on the tough stuff and expeditions but also a lot of highway driving. Have been looking at a few like Bilstein, Monroe and Toughdog, but need experienced advice. thanks

Bilstein and adjustable KONI ARE Proven the best over a lot if years use in Comp and touring.
Myself. Not needing that class of shocks, I have used EFS after trying a few other named ones.
My last 4 veh's have EFS. SHOCKS. Progressive COILS, and Torsion bars.
With Ironman Half leaf Helper leaf springs on rear.
I... Find them reliable. doing a great job. (Second level UP for towing not performance).
and VERY happy with them.
I did try a basic set of shocks on D;Max firstly. But seals didn't last long.
The second level of are fine after 5 yrs so far. towing a 2 ton van on Aust Bitumin, and some dirt roads.
