OK... a thought here. Ignoring the hydraulic fluid idea (for simplicities sake) and sticking with the electrical design, this wouldn't be able to actually act as a shock (no dampening effect) it would have to be in addition to traditional shocks. So what if we mounted 1 end of the electrical "shock" to the chassis, and the other end to a pivot, with the pivot being connected to the axle/a-arm, etc. The hardcore desert offroad guys do this when they want huge travel number in the rear without cutting the bed up for long shocks, they use a pivot so that they can run shorter shocks for the same travel, we would want the opposite, more travel (of the electric shock) then the car is actually moving.
