OME shocks to short

Ok guys I just got the OME rear done. I The OME shocks (N85) are way to short. I measured them up at full stuff and need shock with a throw at 28" extended and 17" compressed in order to get my full flex which I want. After all I paid for the flex so I should get it right LOL!

So now what shocks should I get? Bilstein has some in that length range. 5125 series. Valve choices are 170/60 or 255/70.

What do you guys think.Not sure if rebuildable is important since the OME ones are not but I do not want total POS shocks either.

What is the distance from the jounce to the frame? We will need to know that too, so that the shock doesnt bottom before the jounce.

Ah now I see. Down here Scott we just call em bump stops LOL! :xxrotflma We are going to do a custom bump stop once the new shocks are installed. From full stuff I have an extra inch to play with so we fab new bumps around that.
