Default Shock Replacement

I am looking to upgrade my shocks on my Chinese buggies.

The rear I am going to go with the ones with oil canister and the front no canister. I know the front is pretty much set on a fixed length but on the back it appears you can add more length.

Should I use a longer shock in the back going from standard 13" to lets say 14 or 15"? Will it work properly and give more travel?

Also on the back frame where the swing arm attaches, there are two holes on a bracket, an upper and a lower. My buggies seem to use the upper. The other is about 2"or so lower. Is there a benefit to putting the swing arm on the lower one? Seems it would live the body up.
