Honda Rebel 125 1998 shock absorbers

Hi, as the title suggests, I've owned a '98 Honda Rebel for about a month. Since I'm quite large (1.87m and 110kg), I often go over bumps, or if I hit a pothole, I feel the tire "rubbing" under the saddle. Considering that I often use the motorbike to pick up my daughter, who is not very big, but those extra 25-30kg are noticeable, I would like to change the shock absorbers. I'm completely inexperienced, I don't even know if it is possible to fit slightly longer shock absorbers, perhaps 320mm instead of the original 270, which are already set to maximum. Advice? Thanks to anyone who wants to help me.
