lowered rear shock mount question (new Idea)

[Hottrucks]

Ok some may know that ford ( my F 350 ) axle covers are prone to rotting so I was under mine cleaning it up and painting it when I noticed

the lower shock mount is only U bolted to the axle??? after looking at if for about 2 seconds I thought it would make a perfect mount for my chevy because it's inderslung on the axle and you could mount it anywhere on the axle to help with the bad angle that exsists now with the bags and c notch??

Has anyone else noticed or tried it?? I figure cheap and easy??
