Default Kq 300 progressive shocks

Hey guys, i'm kinda in the market for new shocks on my 300 but there is not many options, I have found the progressive suspension shocks on ebay for a good price. Will these shocks be hard on the axle since they are 1" longer and will they make the rear end have a huge camber. If anyone has installed these please post some pics. Any info on bigger shocks will help me, my main concern is breaking axles and cv joint.
Thanks for future responses

I ran those on my prairie when i had it nice shock.. they clamed that they were 1" taller than stock but sitting side by side i seen no difference. you should be fine with the 1" difference. just run them a little softer

I left them on the same setting my stock ones were. I really did not notice any diffrence in ride. But load capabilities were better. It no longer say low in the rear with a passanger on. Did not get a lot of runtime on them. 2 rides and then traded on my new machine.
