Does the WT play nice with the OneUp clamp?
Is this possible- oneup dropper mod q
No the resolve is a totally different setup, and lower even still than one up, but it's sort of integrated into the stanchion itself.

I must not understand. Overall length is king, more insertion length is irrelevant if it's cancelled out by lower stack height.
Think about it this way - your saddle needs to be a certain distance from that linkage pivot. That's literally your saddle height and that's the physical limit, how you arrive at that saddle position doesn't really matter as long as that total distance does not get too long, which is the overall length. If the insertion portion is longer but the stack is less, then it doesn't matter. You can have more post protruding, if the stack is lower, and still have a lower saddle when lowered, because the post has more travel.
Insertion for the resolve is 231mm +20mm for the little lever linkage for the cable. So I guess what also may make or break it is if that part clear the linkage pivot
Your last line identifies the exact problem my initial question is trying to solve- the linkage pivot has a bolt that runs crosswise through the seat tube which creates a hard limit and requires taking cable actuator length into account.
Too bad the oneup clamp won’t work on the WT post, would be great if there was an off the shelf solution ins of contemplating making a perfectly good post work less good.

Quick update- I used a dremel to trim 5mm off of some oversized guide shims (smaller of the two options, 2 lines not 4), then filed another 2mm off each until reasonably smooth and installed using the 150 cartridge. Result is a 157mm dropper post that operates the same as it did before.
After a bit of overthinking, lengthening by 10mm seemed like asking for trouble and 5mm seemed not worth the effort so ended up splitting the difference. We’ll see how long it stays working, but for now I’ll call it a win.
I also took the suggestion and put the 180mm post up for sale on pb, also ended up grabbing a flaremax gen 4 so my gen 3 is for sale as well… winter eh? Long nights, the birthplace of big plans.
Hope everyone has a great 2024.
