I have, a couple of times in fact.   It is NOT pleasant.

Oh, wait a minute.   I did the job with aftermarket shocks/springs which are 
smaller in diameter.   Yeah, there's no way to pop the stock shocks out 
without separating the lower ball joint from the A-arm--but at least your upper 
A-arm/balljoint can remain attached so your alignment is unchanged.
