The linear generator will provide resistance based on velocity, creating a damping affect. Due to the complex valving inside of modern shock absorbers, which open & close valves based on velocity as well as bypass valving based on piston position, I dont think you can eliminate the regular damper. I also don't think you can eliminate the alternator, but the load certainly can be reduced.
You could use a linkage to increase the movement of the linear generator.
Neodemium magnets would be a nice touch.
