A longer travel shock is always the better option, these limit your uptravel. you want to set your suspension up, then flex it up and measure between the shock mounts at full bump and droop then get some shocks that match these measurements.

Tbh astra shocks aren't really an ideal shock, just a budget option, either way if you run astra shocks I'd run the gas filled mk2 gte ones.
