The koni's because they are in my Calais 
But im not realy fussed otherwise. I run Rancho's in the front of my Hilux but this was only because i needed long shocks at short notice and these were delivered to my door a few hours after i ordered them. I run Magnum 60 Munroe shocks in the rear which originaly suit a Ford Luisville LTL9000 front and these are a 12.8" travel shock and are only $100 each.
The pedders are in my 2wd ute.

Bilsteins in my Feroza, top adjustable Konis in my other car.
Both very good. Bilsteins have really improved ride and handling in the Feroza.

I have Ranchos in the rear of the Zuk with Old Man Emu Racing Buggy shocks up front. The Patrol has Dobinsons, but I can't really comment on them as they have only been on for a week.
The Rancho + OME combo works great on my Zuk nice and long and soft haven't given me any dramas in the 4 or so years I've been running them. The best thing about the OMes was they came out of the parts bin as they had been used and cost me about $70 for both

Still running the std zook shocks, front and rear....I recently had troubles when going to replace them. Scanned through Repco's parts listing and the only ones to suit the application were early SAAB. I run a spoa with shackle reversal.

You really should look into getting some longer shocks on custom mounts to get the full travel out of your suspension as I'd imagine using standard zuk shocks would be limiting all sorts of travel
