Parts arrived!
So I did end up getting the GF-01 Alloy shocks (54670), and they fit just fine with the long damper towers.
It would be perfect if the shock and body were about 3mm longer over all but they'll still do the job.
They are 72mm long with the long rod end.
So if you still want to run it slammed to the ground with the short rod ends, that shouldn't be an issue.

I have 50w in the front and 35w in the rear, with the white 3 hole pistons and TRF201 front shock springs.
Seems ok, but is over damped, the front should probably have around 35w max.

Also got the CVs in place, a 67t 48p spur and the roll bar set.
Not going to fit the roll bars until after I run it with the new shocks.
