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.
It's okay Granpa. I really appreciate all helps I could get from this forum
I didn't left out the white spacer on the bottom of the shock. The urethane bumper is the pinky Tamiya #53577, which was suggested (in the shock's manual) to be put in the upper side of the shock.

@Jamie Hanson - it is the same. Both front and rear ball head suspension shafts require additional length, i.e., by using longer coupler.

@JosB
Thanks for sharing the pics mate
