You have 4 (somewhat) independent fulcrum points as is. With your design change you basically will only have 2. You have removed the lower suspension spring and end-link bushings. These allow for shock absorption and independent travel. You have removed the standard length shocks and tied the top independence to the bottom making them one long unit now (2 sides) and shocks become stiffeners in that scenario and create a weak-link due to length.

I believe you will find it a very stiff and unforgiving suspension and may have a lot of durability issues because is the length of the new style shocks. May create camber issues too.

With all that being said, there are several companies that make a HD lifts that will stand well to the rigors of off roading/hunting.
