Rocker Arm Clearance

Do I need to clearance my stock (trunion upgraded) rockers if I am running the large double valve springs?

The outer spring should have same OD as a single spring as they fit the same pocket. So no, you should not have to clearance the rocker. Thousands of dual spring kits are in use with stock rockers.

Are the springs you're using larger OD than stock?

Most dual spring kits on the market are 1.3xx” diameter. The 1.43” diameter spring the picture said it was clearanced for will not usually fit a stock spring pocket.
