thanks guys! Shock showed up yesterday and I did a test fit, there is some interference but fortunately it doesn't appear to be too bad so I hope to machine some clearance in this weekend and verify I am good to go. One thing I didn't recall is that the monoballs are narrow in these shocks - narrower than a typical monoball from Aurora/FK/etc - so my high angle spacers are too wide. I need to call them and see if they can swap them out for a more typical monoball with the correct width for my spacers. The rockers are already machined based on the "typical" width so I can't just narrow up the spacers.

The joys of doing custom stuff.

edit - well, dammit, turns out I am too used to using heavy duty rod ends and spherical balls. There is a bunch of bearings that are 1/2" wide, not 5/8" wide. The problem is I can find some "wide" bearings but the housing also gets wider so they can't swap in. Will have to custom turn the spacers down and then make what is essentially washers to fill in the gap to make up the 1/8". Irritating but solvable.
