I used www.monroe.com when I was looking for air shocks for my '79 AMC Spirit GT. If you know what your standard shock dimensions are (collapsed, extended, etc) this site helps.

Most of the time for a particular length you had to get out the tape measure and do the measurements for full droop, ride height and full compression and then get in the manufacturer
listings to get the right shock. I just did this recently to put Vikings on my '48....... not too bad because you can get the specs. For Koni, not an easy task because I don't think they
publicize spec sheets for their products. They like to play the "I've got a secret" game.......

I think you might be in Ireland if I'm thinking of the right person? As already said you'd be lucky to get 10" of travel unless your shock was very long. I have used this company
who are very good. If they don't have what you need off the shelf they can usually make it.

Or there is this company who do a similar thing

You can get an idea of travel if you subtract open length from closed length on the custom shocks but they are meant for traditional coil/shocks. They also might be worth phoning to see if they design something for air ride.
p.s. you will be lucky to see 4.5 inches of travel on the jag IFS
