I tried to install the shorter shock ends, but it lifted the front and rear arms, and the ground clearance were around 1 - 1.5 mm (with 55mm tires)

Therefore, I opted for longer version of the shock ends (available from #54000), and this provides better ground clearance for the chassis.

I think you built them right. When mounting the shock to the M-06 Ball Head Suspension Shafts you need the extra length. I know this to be true in the front end, but I am not sure about the rear.
