it would not have enough leverage. it looks to me like a 2:1 ratio which means that even with a 3" stroke shock it would only have 6" of rear travel. You gotta reduce the size of the front half of the swingarm. A good article on off road suspension design that with a little bit of imagination can be adapted to bikes: http://www.pirate4x4.com/tech/billavista/coilovers/Part_1/#LeverageTheory - definitely worth a read.
