Coil-overs and mechanical stress?

Thesmoke90

The rear suspension of our cars have a split shock/spring setup (called divorced, I believe). If I were to replace that setup with coil-overs in the rear, would that add a lot of stress to where the shock is bolted in? (Since the stock springs are removed, it seems like there would be more stress on the shock / shock mounting area because we are moving the spring to the shock via a coil-over setup.)

Hope you guys understand what I mean. It seems like switching from a 'divorced' setup to a coilover setup would put all of the suspension forces into the single shock area, instead of distributed between two different areas like the divorced setup.

I haven't heard of people having issues with this, I just want to know for sure before punching a hole in my frame.
