taking everything you just stated into account for 4x4ing
the most 4x4ing i would do is driving up a un-made road/driveway...
In your books would it still be a complete no no or would they be ok ?

When you fit the strut spacer the shock MAY limit the travel of the wheel before the bump stop. If this was the case the strut would then take the full load, which possibly could cause the breakages shown. If this was the case the SOLUTION would be to fit a bump stop spacer! This would then allow the bump stop not the strut to take this load.
