I've just been doing some googling on those Bilstein shocks, trying to compare them with what I believed I had found for stock height Jimny.
Also found some measurements on these shocks. Seem mostly like these shocks you've found are for stock height, some shops even mention them as suitable for up to 50mm lowered vehicles. I found these to be around 40-45 cm's extended. My front Fox shocks measure about 55 cm's and are a pretty good fit on +3" springs.
No matter what. Before you buy, I'd suggest you have them give you the exact measurements on shocks

Not that difficult finding bilstein 5125 that fit. It's more to do with finding the correct valving.
I'd say avoid the rough country shocks if bilsteins are already now in consideration. It's a world of difference in quality
I have bilstein 5125 on the rear axle. Can find the model no tomorrow.
