Re: Full suspension build Was the same for me. A bit scared of going out of my comfort zone.
But last year I took the plunge. And have built 4 FM936 so far.
You have all the skills already.
Read here the whole thread of the frame you want to build.
And youtube and google will fill the gaps.

Re: Full suspension build https://www.mtbdirect.com.au/how-to-measure-the-shock-and-hardware-size-on-a-mountain-bike

There's a writeup and picture in this article about trunnion mounts.  Standard shocks use an eyelet at either end of the shock.  These eyelets require purchasing hardware to fit the frame on both sides.  A trunnion mount is basically two threaded holes on either side of the shock body.  There will be bearings in the frame or linkage, and frames will come with the bolts that go through them, so you will only need to purchase hardware for the one eyelet mount on the other side of the trunnion mount.  I believe the FM936, ICAN S3, and LCFS911 all use trunnion shocks.
