We never saw the need to move the shaft up or down with any of the high quality rocker arm systems. It is common to have to shim and/or machine the stands to move the rocker arms sideways for correct alignment.

As someone who's spent hundreds upon hundreds in custom pushrods I probably will never use again, pushrod length is not unimportant, but there are more important things to consider
