Long and short eyelet same overall shock length. Short eyelet lowers the spring vs long.
Picture upload failed.
I don't think it makes much difference in the end.
EDIT: Confirmed. All the eyelets do is move the relative position of the spring and shock collar on the shock body to maintain same ride height. The short eyelet allows more compression at the extreme. The only difference I can see.

This is incorrect. Shock eyelet length can change overall length of the shock. If you adjust the stroke by turning the short eyelet out to get the same relative shock length, you end up with more up travel. If you want to move the relative position of the spring, change the shock cup.

Sean - the longer eyelets also make the shock longer, which can translate to more shock extension, which can impact weight transfer. So in terms of weight transfer a long eyeleted rear shock (compared to short) can result in more front/less rear traction on braking, impact the rear traction in turns, etc.

That is what I did. I also prefer the flat arms and ball diff. Plus the "D" comes with springs that are more condusive to dirt (softer). A bunch of locals run the gulwing arms in 17.5 here, but they are all just copying a team driver we have locally. most of them dont even know why they are running gulwings, lol

My servo link did, but all the others are perfect right out of the box. The threads really need chapstick or the front camber links won't go on far enough.

If you click on the wiki at the top of the page, there's a link to build tips. In it guys are taking that 2mm spacer out to get full throw. That would fix your problem without the dremeling. You already did it so it's no big deal now, but that's how several of us are getting full throw.
