Just took my first ride and noticed some scraping on the rear shock. Did I fuck the install up somehow? It seemed pretty simple, it was loose on the preload collar so I used the sizing bushing and it fit pretty snug

Oh I think I'm just an idiot and they come with a rough strip up the one side? Hard to find clear shots of that side of the shock

Correct, casting/machining mark.

Perfect, I'm an idiot but I didn't mess up the spring swap. I can live with that, thanks for confirming
