This is just such a weird question. It is kind of like saying if I park on a hill can I leave the brake off and just use the transmission to hold the car. Well the answer is yes if you want, but one day the car won't be there. Same with the forks one day they will have slipped down. But you may have unnecessarily shortened the life of some components. So why do it?
