Makes no difference as the bushes on the axle end binds before the rose joints will have any effect.
I had a bit of a play this afternoon, dislocated some springs and found some stuff out but didn't look into it too much. I'll have another look at it later this week and take some measurements, see what is restricting movement etc. and post my findings here.

To me that suggests that the kits are built more for looks than any improvement in ability. If the spring doesn't allow full travel you may as well fit a standard spring with spring spacers.
When you start using them for more severe off-road use then you can end up at some more extreme angles which puts more weight on the springs; along with the higher C of G, that often means that you will be using more suspension travel than a stock system allows.

I'll have to think about that when its not so late but surely the bushes on the axle end are only there to remove vibration, they should hold the axle at a fixed angle relative to the arm.
