I had a setup like you describe on my Swift for a time. I succeeded in making an extremely cushy ride, but at the expense making it heavier and slower.
I eventually removed the suspension and returned the Swift to being a folding road bike. Sometime later I got a Pacific "Reach for the Road" which was designed for suspension, it's nearly as light as my stripped-down Swift.
