yes it is possible, but due to the smaller arch the uppers will have while flexing, your axle will rotate backwards a little bit, this is known as pinion dive. but as long as you aren't jumping your jeep or anything crazy like that, you will be alright. some long arm kits had you run normal uppers(teraflex long arm), so yes it is possible, but definitely not the best setup
