better ride quality

This could work but I wouldn't bet on it....

The reason is because once the shock is removed, there's nothing to control the 'energy' created when the spring is compressed & extended during travel. It may allow you to feel "hey, it rides better" or it might be so bouncy that's all you notice. It's free to try though so not much to lose.
