Rear shock absorbers

Hi everyone, I’ve got a set of 6 leaf rear springs on the way from ESPO in the states, expensive but the existing springs were done. I’ve gone with a 1” lift over stock just to give a little more tyre clearance with 15” x 255s. The Monroe air shocks in the back at the moment are pretty harsh so I might look to change them at the same time. Does any on one have any recommendations for shocks available here (so fed up of paying shipping and taxes) that they’ve fitted, also with the extra lift I’m curious whether I need to be looking outside the usual sizes. I am thinking of the Spax G3287s a bit pricey and maybe overkill?

Thanks, I ended up getting them from RockAuto. £156 incl shipping and taxes and here 24hrs later. I don’t know how they can do that.
