I see what you are talking about though but don't like the limitation of always having forced artic...
As BigMeat said, it's been done and here's a good write-up

Also I agree hydraulic lines would be better but then as stated, the plumbing and risk of tearing a line and not only losing pressure but having fluid everywhere would not be fun lol

Imagine, for a moment that, as the front right dropped to full droop, that the front left had REDUCED spring preasure as a result.....therefore allowing it (front left) to bottom out in full compression, while the other is at full droop....

Thereby allowing full utilization of all your wheel travel, not just a couple inches of drop (as in your photo)
I understand that, but in my particular situation (hard to see in the pic), that full compression wouldn't have helped a whole lot on the passenger side, it was a good couple feet in the air but yes I understand what your talking about, just mentioning that we will still be limited, just not AS much.
