Best way to choose shock lengths is to measure when flexed and drooped.

And I wouldnt be using such long shackles. 200mm is massive!

Is there an echo in here :?: :crazyeyes:
it's never a problem until it can't be fixed, even then it' only a minor set back

200mm or 8" is for the rear IFS springs swap.

For the front best is 5" eye to eye with rears up front.

why not just use shock hoops? and go with a 12" shock.
