would using something like a summit flex joint or RE joint as a shackle mount, with the proper gossets work in a dd? more importantly on the front axle of a shackle reverse. some thing like this:

i know it will flex well, im just concerned about on driving. see any negatives?
 
well i can pick some up for $20 a piece. its not just a dd, i mean i wheel pretty hard on the weekends, but im just concerned about on road mannerisms. dont want to put something on like a revolver-type thing.
 
I have them on the back of my ftoy and like them. I wouldn't run them in the front though, will cause to much slop when you steer and from what I heard from others who have tried it and quickly got rid of them thats it was just plain scary on the road.
