How did you do the bit where you need to fix the IFP to the correct height in the damper? Did you use the RS clamp tool? Or will axle clamps work?
Obvs key is to not scratch anything

I use the Rock Shox clamping tools or soft jaws as appropriate. The Rock Shox clamps are expensive but superb quality.
In contrast, I fitted a Vorsprung Luftkappe the other day on my own fork and used the shaft clamp TF Tuned supply. I went ahead and used it without checking the clamp properly. It made a slight scratch to the air shaft. Very slight so using some fine emory cloth I smoothed it out. Will see if this works long term, right now the Luftkappe does it job very well.
The TF Tuned clamp I received is made very poorly. So if anyone else fits a Luftkappe check the clamp!

You could do it. The only thing is the recommendation for charging the damper with pure nitrogen. Rock Shox say that you can use standard air as well but long term some say this can effect performance, especially at altitude. And pure nitrogen has some definite benefits over mutt nitrogen for use in suspension components.
I've used standard air in a Monarch RT3 I had for a few strip downs and rebuilds and it seemed to work fine. Well, until it died. I think that was more to do with Clyne mud than anything.
I think.
Anyway, go for it. If it goes wrong you can always blame the mechanic.
