I'm not 100%, but I think the extended A arm will REDUCE the side load on the strut. I think the most load comes from a long 'wheel centre to spindle join on strut'. Reducing this by lengthening the arm and then removing spacers ( or changing wheel offset ) will reduce the side load on the strut.
I could be wrong..
