Default Shock absorber recommendations

I was wondering what views you guys have on replacement shocks for the rear (standard height) suspension. Currently running Bilsteins I got from USA but now done over 100ks and getting sloppy. Anyone tried Gabriel Ultra or Rancho? I would prefer something firmer rather than OE.

I use the USA Monroe load bearing , but if the front is getting a little worn and sagging it could make it look funny with the rear sticking up a little.\
Found amazon usa the best place to buy...seem to have to change every 80,000.

Its fine for mine as I replaced the front struts and springs with heavy duty from that spring manufacturer on the gold coast. Do a lot of towing ball load 330kg.
