1967-69 rear shocks

I’m restoring a 69 xlch and the top muffler on the interconnected exhaust hits the shock bottoms. I assume my shocks are high ground clearance because they measure 14.5” 54504-67. I know they also come in standard but I can’t find them. Are my shocks the correct length or are they later model shocks?

from '67 on the shocks and forks were high ground clearance only , but the shock length wouldn't solve the problem superquiet mufflers are just too fat. maybe try tweeking the bracket

Can you tell me the correct length of the high ground clearance shocks?
