That is cool that you've found superior shocks that can be swapped but I would worry about the extra length. On my race bikes I run the shocks longer but the max I go it about 1/3 the length you are adding. I'd be scared to ride a bike at speed with the back raised that much.

If I were to do your swap I would make a pair of longer dogbones to adjust for the longer shock.
