Doug,
You are not the first one to come up with that proposition.  It works very well 
but as with other like propositions, severely restricts
the movement of the suspension and therefore is really applicable in full 
racing environments and not well suited to street use
(particularly if you are hauling anyone of the feminine persuasion around)!!!
