If anyone's got any tips or special code for building them though, happy to listen!

Hi TryHard.
I've no problems with the O-rings. When I put it together, I used some blue Tamiya grease, and I've no binding at all, and all 4 shocks are even on rebound.
I struggled a little too on the bladders. I think, they are too wide, and the top can't go free above them, when you're putting it together. I had to do two of the shocks twice, as I lifted up the bladder and got air into the shocks, when I tried to put the top on.
The new shocks works really good. I've no leak from the shocks.
I don't want or need to switch to Tamiya shocks.
