Default shock oil for beetle off-road/MB

I am going to be changing out the oil from my off-road Beetle and will be also using it with the monster tires. What shock oil do you recommend for this?

Woof, Woof. Going to try the new oil setup as soon as the morning dampness is off the grass. Man, it's great to be retired, until you need to buy parts for the toys.
