is there a way to make my 808s longer?
they don't feel long enough and end up feeling dry when i listen to it.

You can try finding a longer 808 sample. Also, try using distortion and compression to increase the volume of the sample tail, if it disappears in a busy mix. Or you could try to synthesize your own for maximum control.
