Monroe gas ones have a good reputation.
For modded motors with suspension lifts Rough Country tick the box. Years back it used to be Pro Comp.

Re the lottery - heard through the grapevine - well her indoors - that Camelot sold out to a Canadian company and the first thing they did was to introduce the extra numbers reducing the chances. Apparently a lot of the profits help to fund Canadian pension schemes. Nothing against the Canadians but food for thought.
Another stray apology
