And using stock length shocks gives you a many more brands to choose from. I'd like to see a photo of the extenders after you install them. I don't quite understand how they mount.
I've used KYB Gas-a-Just monotube shocks on several vehicles over the years and have been happy with them. My 82 C10 has the less expensive Excel-G shocks, and they're probably a little better than OEM.
Best shocks I ever used were Tokico Illumina with adjustable dampening, but I doubt they're available for our trucks. Also, the entry level QA1 Street Stars are pretty nice.
