x3! Go with it man. It will go where no scaler has gone before!  And if your going to use the straws, use TGI Fridays straws, there are much stronger!

move the top shock mounts forward or angle the shocks to the center of the frame

Does anyone know where to get a quarter-elliptical spring pack? If they are available one could use them as part of a modified 4-link design (as upper or lower links with a rigid mount at both ends) or in a 6-link configuration (with a flexible mount at the axle end, possibly parallel to lower links) the possibilities far exceed what I have written here... Designed properly such a system could be self limiting in travel (but not overly so) and help resist the dreaded body roll/torque twist problem...
