Are the Ofna 17mm Big Bores currently the largest shocks on the market? (no brand preference)

I've seen quite a few 16mm's, but only those Ofna's in 17mm, and no 18mm. I am basically just looking for over-the-top for a project buggy. They don't have to "be the best" shock on the market. Just the largest/most visually impressive. Like to keep it a bolt on job, not have to make a custom shock tower to fit some bigger 1/5th shocks or something...
Any and all help is much appreciated.

i think hyper 9s come with 19 mm, not sure .... O'donnell also makes 17mm shocks that are really good (better than Ofna 17mm IMO) BUT us team guys and alot others are now running the OD 17mm shocks the sleeve in them to make the bore to 16mm, works alot better than 17mm, i think 16mm shocks are better than 17mm or bigger IMO.

I have a Associated RC8e with 16mm fronts, 16mm backs and they're pretty touch. The way I jump and 90% of the time land flat bottom, either dirt or pavement, I have yet to blow or bend a shock. I'd say there touch little shocks and at $60 a set I hope they hold up. I also recently replaced the stock 25weight oil with 50 and it feels alot better.
