How long is a tail pipe????
If brand and peoples opinion then i would say Lovells or dobinsons.
Stay clear of Tuff Dog as they are crap.
Or are you after lengths???

Are you lookin for shocks for the ute?
I used a set of shocks from wombat offroad in my old rangy and they were great for what i do, not sure if they would suit winch comps they were pretty plush.They were recomended by him as he uses them on his disco.
I now have tough dogs in the rear and i think ridepro in the front of the new R3DN3K rangy they seem fine but havent had the chance for much offroad yet but seem ok.
What do you run in yours Dan?
Cheers Damo
PS i hope my usumptions are right and i have the right people in mind here lol

I would say in Rovers that Bilstein are seen most commonly as being the best.

Just make sure you protect the rear shocks (outer shock tubes etc etc).

bilstein's are valved quite firm. Firm ride and firm handling.
They may be a little firm for some, but when I got mine rebuilt I went even firmer and love the handling but as a daily drive it could be too much.

Every person i know that has run tuff dogs say they were a great shock but they were blowing out with minimal use.
I also am not a fan of any shock that is adjustable. (except an air shock like sway aways or fox)
