Gonna run it on Sunday
Sorry I couldn't be of help. One other point tho, if you left out the white spacer on the bottom of the shock, I urge you to put that back in. Sometimes the hardest thing is to figure out which piece you are talking about. Other than the black o-ring, there is nothing else inside the shock body other than the piston rod and the piston.

Something sounds odd here cause I've never seen an M05 with the long couplers. I still believe it's in the shock build, but, as in all things, I could be wrong. Hard to tell from just the pictures.
