1) Correct, the key item is the silicone o rings
2) Yes, apply green slime or some other grease that is compatible with silicone. You would apply this to the o ring, the inside of the rod guide, and the rod where the threading is. Putting a generous amount of green slime on the threads will help prevent damaging the o rings.
3) I don't know about the red/orange o rings, I have never used them.
edit:
Can anyone explaint o me the love for the red o rings? Why not use these:

So the tamiya TRF blue competition O-Rings (P3 size) are better than the clear O rings in terms of preventing oil leak and durability? From the description in RC Mart of this product, it requires additional shims (Tamiya #53586) for clearance. Is it really necessary to get the shims if I were to use this blue competition O rings instead of the clear O rings?
Thanks.

It stays the same.
That only changes when you alter the number of teeth front or rear from your pulleys.
You just need to see if the bd7 belt can be set tight enough.

If you are looking for some spares for you're 419 or 419x (at least the axles and couplings for the 419x) I've got some DCJ's up for sale.

TRF419X damper's overall length
Hi guys
May I know what is the overall length that you built for these TRF419X's Super Short Big Bore ("SSBB") shocks, when piston is fully pulled out, with the caps and everything on, except the spring?
I didn't managed to find a good answer on the Internet and it isn't indicate in the assemble manual too.
Thank you.
