for a 02 Big hit i look at a 180mm fork Max . I would not go for the shivers as they are TOO heavy.

Yes they were great fork in their day.

Even some 160mm SC forks will be fine. I would not go to 200mm as they do not work well on the early BH frames (But some of the Boxxers were OKish..)

Complete '02 Bighit bikes came with 170mm Marzocchi junior Ts.

Marzocchi forks tend to have a slightly longer crown to axle length for a given amount of travel so other peoples 180mm travel forks should be the OK still.

I've got 170mm Marzocchi 66s on my '03 Bighit. Same frame as yours.
