If your front end can freely travel at least 5 inches (gleened from Caltrac tech), the adjustable strut rods will have little or no effect on that. They do benefit the suspensions ability to increase the positive caster by pulling the lower control arm farther forward in relation to the upper control arm. You must be careful not to bring the lower control arm into a bind as it moves through its travel however.

The old Mopar suspension manual has a lot of tried and tested information in it that is still applicable today.
