That is the only concern with my nuts. That they steal a little travel. The next batch I'm making are going to be significantly shorter. After I broke them I figured out that I don't need the sleeve to be nearly as long. Basically it comes down to the lesser of two evils. If the shaft is going to be taking a beating anyway, I'd rather the beating is on an area that has 40% more material and isn't scored. My new nut without the magic washer should only steal about 3/16" of travel. Can you ask your Shock guy about the nuts? I can't afford new shocks, I blew my wad on my nuts....
