@Lewpow167 - there's quite a lot going on here, so let me unpack it. The Amflow PL Medium takes a 185x55mm trunnion-mount shock.

The frame is compatible with 185×55mm trunnion-mount shocks. The EXT Storia V3 is available in trunnion mount, so the sizing in principle is possible - but you'd need to order the 185x55 trunnion variant specifically, and

every EXT shock is custom built to order, with EXT tuning it specifically for that rider and bike. That's actually a feature here, because you'd give them the Amflow's leverage curve data when ordering.

Now, the more interesting part of your question - the 27.5 wheel and no cascade link.

The Amflow PL is compatible with both 27.5" and 29" rear wheels; users need to adjust the four-bar linkage flip chips and set the wheel size in the app.

That's fine. The cascade link is a separate matter entirely. The Cascade link increases travel to 160mm while also offering a bump in progression, and

it's designed to be run only in the 27.5 flip chip setting - that's the only way to preserve stock geo while also achieving 160mm travel.
