Depends... Are you using bushings or Johnny Joints on your lower arms? If using a Johnny Joint of some kind that it will rotate up & down every time the suspension cycles, especially on the arm without an upper attached. They will rotate to their full degree deflection with every cycle, basically bottoming out down & than up. This will wear them out fast. If you're using bushings than that would be better, but the bushings will still deflect from the forces of the shocks & that deflection with make the shocks less effective along with adding to the wear in the bushings. The only way I would recomend doing this would be if you're using a ford style "C" bushing at the axle. They off enough surface area to withstand the force of the shock well, although it's still not an ideal situation.
