So lately i've been going between the BA Ghia, and the AU Fairlane, and I've noticed even with lowered King Springs up front, the front end feels too soft? Even the Ghia provides a bit harder "shock", and gives me a more connected feeling unlike the Fairlane.
Any tips? They're currently Kings Springs Superlows in the front, with standard 110,000km old shocks.

I would have thought that regardless of spring height the 'hardness' of the ride would depend on the spring stiffness and the shockers.

Massive travel in them Load up the boot and she drops really hard ( annoying ) Will short shocks stiffing it up and stop my back from dropping once loaded?

New shocks will stop the bouncing and wallowing if that's what is happening but no shocks of any kind will stop the back from sinking once you load the boot up unless they are Monroe Gas Risers. The gas risers will work in anything except an AU. They don't make Gas Rister for the AU IRS. I ended up getting custom progressive coils made for mine. Bushbasher

If you're on ultra lows then short shocks would be better as normal length ones will be working near the end of their travel most of the time and they'll thrash out relatively quickly. As for brand, it depends how much money you want to spend. at one end you have cheap nasty Ultimas from ebay all the way up to Koni adjustables and up. Others with lowered suspension will be more able to advise you on good choices of short shocks, I'm sure someone will jump in and give you the tip.
Cheers Bushbasher
