Bracing them, properly anyway, would tear the shock mounts off the axle under hard side to side load.

The load of the chassis doesn't go through the shock mounts anyway. The spring perches that are just inside the shock under the floor handle the load. The shocks just control the bounce of the rear end and the rebound of the spring.
