Yeah, but if you go that route(which I almost tried, bought the snubber tho just so it'd help that much more) it's going to be constantly smacking your basically rear end against your floorboard where the snubber connects.
I'll be within time you're going to have a nice sized whole in your trunk/hatch area.
So I'm waiting to get upper/lower control arms before I remove my quad shocks.

It won't smack the snubber that often if you just raise it up some there OB, and I've made several hundred passes with mine and have not poked any holes in the floorboard yet!

Hehe, YET
I tried your plan at first(didn't remove shocks yet)
But I set it at the track setting for normal driving.
Every little bumb it smacked so hard...
I'm sure if you had some metal plates reinforcing it, it would be ok.
And that's not too bad for someone who can weld.
Would be a nice cheap way out to fit a fatter tire under there.
