It most definitely will, the extra 400 lbs in the rear will not only cause the rear to sag and suspension travel to be limited but cause excessive tire wear. You can have 400lbs of extra weight in passangers but it's also not going to be permanent.

If you think about a race car when weight gets added it get put in spots that make the car handle better not just dumped in the rear.

also think about it this way, a tennis ball will bounce when round and in normal form but if you squish the ball and take the rebound out of it it will no longer bounce it will just drop. That's what you would be doing would be taking the bounce out of the spring causing the rebound and compession to be different and the suspension would now be able to bottom out.

it might look o.k. when not driving and parked but when driving it wouldn't feel right nor look right.
