I feel you are going to be saddened, I know no way of extending shocks.
But where there is a will there is a way.
Maybe you could use a Diamond lowering kit upside down, and use spacers to pack out the mountings.
You may not end up with enough travel though.

you would hae to make new mounts on either the frame or the a arms to make them work and have a decent ride height.
What do they measure center of eye to center of eye? Were they advertised as for a Blaster? Do you have stock arms?
Ha yes i do have the right size a arms he said they were for a blaster turns out they are for flat track and works said about to 250 to make them the right size if all the internals check out
^^^^^^ bingo!
Stock Blaster & Banshee shocks are 14.5" if I remember correctly. A little late now, but when buying shocks you need to know (1) length eye to eye (2) how heavy a rider they were set up for and (3) condition. Buying used shocks is a roll of the dice on the best of occasions, but keeping aware of these three factors will help you minimize the risk of ending up with unusable shocks......again
Good luck!
i know this post is late . Maybe they are for a suzuki quadracer i know the earlier ones (85/86) ran short front shocks. or have you sold them already ??
so did ya sell em or get the lengthened. be interested to hear how they lengthened them and how much it was
