I'm sure they'd be fine. Definitely run you're front sway though. I can't believe you've had them for 2 weeks and you haven't tried them out.

The best way to find out is if you just put them on. Have you purchased them yet?

shocks generally absorb shock, so no, unless you drained all the fluid out of them.

and i would hope they are valved stiffer than your average lift kit shock
