Someone on the 4wd forum posted this link, and I thought it would be good to post here as well.
So if anyone is considering replacing the shocks in their truck soon - read on...... ;)

No munro ? Are they not worthy ? Or just not sold in Au ?
Would have been good to have compared the aftermarket shocks with the new factory set up. Also there was no ironman shocks.
Why don't the new utes have the 50 mm lift kit as standard? They would be a whole lot better that way
Because nobody drives off road and everyone wants there 4wd to handle like a car of course.Quote:

No argument there but globally something like 95 percent of 4wds never leave the seal so sales drive the market not what a couple of kiwis in nz want.Quote:

I have found personally Munroe have always only ever been ok for shopping trolleys. Their valving is all wrong for offroad and the shocks blow out very quickly.
ARB have been good.
EFS have a good name as well.
I know of a few that are using Ironman and they are happy enough.
Sorry two crash this thread, are these any good?

Yeah I think that Tough Dog brand did pretty well in that test. They got best overall.
F off I'm putting 20" on mine, I like the bumpy ride, the way it hates anything but tar seal,and the way they track on the road especially under braking, unless someone buys them of tmeQuote:

Awesome thanks Cambo! I'm looking at replacing the OME shocks in the Landcruiser. They've done over 200K now, around Aussie twice before ending up in my hands. This will be interesting reading.
Have a look at the EFS Extreme shock, and the Koni Heavy Track (88 and 90 series) units. For the amount of km's you do and on those types of roads, the others don't come close.
The EFS are a revalved truck shock, so plenty of volume and good valving. So are the Koni's, but they've got the internal hydraulic bumpstop also.
I've got some Bilstein GQ standard height shocks for sale if anyone is looking
