My search results didnt come up with a decent answer so im asking everyone from their own personal experience.
I have a set of EFS shocks and they dont suit my lift, im losing travel so they need changing out.

Tough Dog are supposed to be good but i hear a big % of people say they are garbage???
Rancho are apparently not all they are cracked up to be????

I have owned Rancho 9000x adjustables before, i dont want them again.

My truck is set up for touring with 2" lift nothing crazy, no huge loads.

My first instinct is to buy OME, trusted brand??

EDIT: ARB quoted me $170 ea for the new Sport Nitrocharger shocks, and approx. $2000 for a complete spring shock and shackle package supplied.

What adout EFS Extreme's 80 series 4'' rears for the front, and patrol 4'' rears for the rear would bo ok for it. Because of the v8 in it a firmer shock on the front will help it, the fronts aare 630mm open and the rears are 720mm open not sure on closed lenght but i can check tomoro if you want?

Can't say enough how good my boss shocks from suspension stuff are. 12 adjustment settings and nice big bore to cope with punishment. Cost me $200 a shock, can't wait to fit a set on the front!

Pretty sure he doesn't sell them anymore because they had too many failures.

I don't think the valving for the EFS Extremes would be right considering they are to suit coil springs? I have them in my gu and they are pretty firm.

I have put them in a 79 Cruiser Ute with no load at all in the back other than a tray and the customer love them, but every body likes what thay like.
