Default Long arm lowers with stock uppers?

Hey, so my adj. uppers are MIA and i was wondering if if would be alright to run the long arm lowers with the factory uppers in the stock location.

Sofar the negatives i've thought of are pinion angle and maybe bending the mounts on the body because of the flex.

I don;t plan to run this setup for long if it does work, and will probibally only offroad it once or twice before i get the adjustable uppers on there.

Thanks

Actually it can be done without any particular issues as long as you adjust the lower ones to have a decent pinion angle. Since they are sheetmetal they will manage flex quite well.
