There are shock extensions for the shaft, look at truck accessories to find them.
(EDIT

Be careful not to go too long, if the shock overextends, the spring can pop out.
Don't use poly shock bushings either. The hard rubber ones are best.
An adjustable shock is the way to go, but, obviously, there's a considerable cost increase.
