I think you will be putting the RCA under a lot of stress if you have springs that extand the shock fully when unloaded. It's usually a struggle to get the strut on the control arm when it's extended, cramming an RCA inbetween would seem like a bad idea unless the springs you use are shorter than stock by at least 30mm (meaning they never extend the shock fully). Considering that the control arm has no more room to bend downwards when a stock shock is at full extension think about where that last bit of force will go when you have an rca in there. My guess is sideways, putting a lot of force on the bolts keeping it together.
