Default LS7 rocker arm question

So I've looked around and I can't get a good answer online since I'm not changing any other parts so here goes.

I'm going to switch my comp trunions for CHE. My question is about lifter preload. Do I need to adjust it when reinstalling the rocker arms? I have Morel 5290 link bar lifters, PRC 285cc heads (no milling), 7.500" pushrods and LS7R camshaft. Nothing is changing but the rocker arm trunions. It is a TSP engine so I never did any initial preload myself and I'm not quite sure what to do when I swap these out. Thanks.

Swapping trunions has no effect on preload.

You do not have 7.5" pushrods unless something is WAY WAY WAY off.

Typo maybe...possibly 7.75, but with no mill I would think more like 7.775.
