I guess the question is can i have the spring base of the strut resting against the Top of the clevis Bracket?

In the pics I looked at your jeep looks great. Personally, I would wait to see if your front settles a bit before you try lowering it. As far as having troubles if your strut and clevis mount are touching...I don't know...but I am also cuious as to what some of our more mechanically inclined members think :-k

I've just looked at your pictures and I'd leave it mate. =D>

To answer your question though, I don't think you can get strut further down because of the little lips on the strut base.

Like I say, leave it..... It's already looking fine.

I agree, leave it as is... it's only 5mm. Even if you were successful in getting those lips down into the clevis bracket in order to make the strut base flush with the clevis, when you torque down the clevis bolt, the bottom of the strut may become deformed; plus the clevis grip wouldn't be evenly distributed around the strut due to the lips.
Could lead to problems down the road.
