    Richard,

    Maybe. I went out and looked at my coil-overs, and the shock eyes have a pioting ball which should take up any bending load without binding. However, that ball is designed to take up minor misalignments - not act as the main pivot point. I don't particularlly care for the design, but I don't think it will break anything - assuming those shocks have the same pivot ball that mine do. If the shocks have a urethane bushing instead of a pivot ball, I'd exercise the suspension travel and see what happens. I'd also be less confident in using shocks with bushings.
