Dan :

Sounds reasonable to me, but I would use a bolt with a smooth shank, and
bore the shock arm to be a light press fit on the bolt shank, basically
making the bolt part of the arm.  Use flat washers only if absolutely
necessary for alignment/clearance, no lock washers, and torque the bolt
enough to get some stretch on it.
