Measure your standard ones and then go look for ones 2-3" bigger. Simple really.

I lifted mine 6", but I moved the shock mount 6" up at the same time. Had no choice really, SPOA is either 6" lift or nothing.
1985 SJ413VX (SJ50V) with SPOA, rear disc brakes, 31x10.5R15 Kaiman Malatesta tyres, an MOT and a lot left to do!

Not many places list the length of them. Don't people use 1990 Astra gte shocks for the front?

I take it you are looking at flea bay. Contact the seller and ask the extended length. If they get back to you it's a good sign and probably a reliable trader.

Yes some people use Astra shocks.
