Re: Lightcarbon LCFS937 Build Regarding the trunnion mount: I've put locktite on mine when building the bike and after over 3 months they haven't come loose. However, I have to retighten the top shock mounting bolt regularly despite locktite and will try stronger locktite soon.

If you go with these forks, make sure to report back how they hold up. Afaik there's not much info on here about chiner suspension forks. But be aware that it's one of the more risky parts to cheap out on.
As for the shock I'd avoid DNM and buy a used fox or something if you can. If you're lucky it will cost about the same.
The other stuff seems fine.

Re: Lightcarbon LCFS937 Build Purely anecdotal. I've had a DNM air shock, albeit on a recumbent bike, that was terribly unsensitive. Dunno if the seals had such high friction or what, but you basically had to ride off a curb to get it going. And then it just blew through all of its travel. I wouldn't want that on such a nice frame, especially with the high anti squat you need a sensitive shock.
