True.
But.... A longer shock stroke usually will yield a better ride quality since it doesn't infringe on the limits (full extension or full compression) within the suspension travel.
It is easier to go w/a shorter shock when you can find one. If that's the better choice is subjective. I try to keep them OE length & move the mounts if possible but will use shocks for a different application if the travel numbers are within my needed range (I use G-body rear shocks on OBS trucks dropped w/a flip kit +shackles).

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....
Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
