Default OME extended shocks?

So I've just discovered that OME makes an extended version of their 60024 and 60025 shocks?

I have ome springs and my factory shocks are not only at their limit but often fully extend when the vehicle rocks around on a rough surface or when I drive over an unlevel surface, like a curb. I was worried about buying standard OME shocks because everything I read says they are not any longer than the factory shocks.

To get to the point, are the extended OME's too long for their 2" springs? Obviously they will allow the tire too droop further but will the shocks bottom out sooner too?

King, are thise the nitro chargers? I have ome springs and nitro charger shocks but I think they only have up to 2.xx springs. Im sure if those are newer, they are still meant to fit.

Yeah they are identical to the standard nitro chargers, just longer. I'm sure the regular OME's are fine for the "two inch" springs, but I don't want the shocks to limit articulation

I just checked mine, I did not know that I had that one coz cant tell the difference. I dont do off road so have not reached any limit yet.
Also, just installed new sets of pads and rotors last week. Got it on ebay for 133.00 free shipping. Brah, it brakes well, no significant braking issues.
