OME works on stock or lifted 100's
I haven't found a longer shock for IFS 100 series. Some aftermarket are even shorter. I went with KYB GR2 just because they have rebound stopper, same travel as stock and 15% stiffer rebound. GR2 are midle grade KYB and are twin tube design the same as OME and OEM tokico. I do have OME comfort rear shock which I regret. It looks really old and rusty with only 10 months under my truck. The damping are too soft for my application (OME medium duty spring with 2" taller Airlift airbag. I wish I got the heavy duty version.
Bilstein and Koni have about 1" shorter travel. Did not go with OME because I heard a lot of failure in Australia and they are way too soft which cause excessive nose dive on my prior exeperience with 2nd gen 4Runner and Mistubishi Montero. Newer OME 133 suppose to fix that though.
I have no information on OME LTR. It should be longer just because it stands for Long Travel with remote Reservoir.

1" longer
I am looking for longer, as I want to crank torsion bars more and still have good down travel.

OME LTR's have the same length as the regular OME shocks, but the valving is significantly better. It's nice and plush when moving slowly in city streets, but gets firm as I run my 6,500lb UZJ-100 on twisty mountain roads, as well as on running fast on rough roads... (4 hours and still no fade!). I love its damping and rebound rate, mating well with my firm OME springs and Sway-A-Way torsion bars, and the heavy weight of the 'Cruiser.
