Will it pull on the C.V. jionts when it drops?
Will the OME struts be longer travelling?
Let me know if my questions dont make sense im just a dumb plumber who chews his finger nails LOL!

Ok, a longer strut will increase droop. Your spring should NOT become decompressed or you'll have big problems!!!! there should be a fair bit of preload in the springs to go at least another 75 to 100mm or so. Yes your UCA will hit the coil bucket, but if you are a money bags like Pwedta you would have the TC UCA's which help eliminate this from happening. I don't know if the OME struts are the same or longer than stock mate, can't even get an answer on that from ARB! I bet they will be the same. You would have to look at the angle of the CV, they are very short so even a marginal increase will cause a lot of angle to appear (but only when wheel is at full droop)
One other question I keep meaning to ask you, where have you put your second (duel) battery???
