I don't know about any advantages unless you are running a torque arm and panhard bar. You can try it and see what happens. I heard those who did had bad wheel hop from a strong start.

I removed mine and had no problems with wheel hopping.

lose 'em, from what ive heard, with the MM CA's you dont need the quad shocks anymore

 

[SMOKEDURVTEK]

what about the ppl that ditch them cuz they put 315's in the back? Most of them dont cant keep them... any disadvantages there?

Ive read up on this on multiple forums and such, if you put in LCA's then you can remove the shocks, but if you just yank them out wheel hop is alot more likely. SRT what control arms did you go with? I see the MM site has a bunch of 'no perch, w/ swaybar' etc etc, Im assuming those have something to do w/ coilovers? Can you school me on that?

most people shouldnt ditch them if they still have the stock control arms. what ive heard that the 315 people do is that they switch them, so the passanger side one is on the drivers side and vise versa

I did this but now the quadshocks rub on my shocks and make this awful noise...

I have aftermarket CA's, but I still kept 'em, they aren't hurting anything.

Cheeziz K Ryste, an inspection of the back sides of your tires might be scary. :hammer:

 

[Schiffy]

I brought this in a few forums, and was always told, when you change out the LCA's to something stronger, you can remove them if you want, but unless you're running a fat tire out back, there's no need to. I've got mine, but plan on going with 315's, and MM LCA's, so eventually i'll remove them, but for now i'm leaving them

:dunno:

whats quad shocks?
Sounds like something that happens after an earthquake :drunk:

I must be the highest non car suave post count person on this site.

 

[Matt94GT]

there look like mini shocks on the inside of your tires, used to prevent wheel hop...although i have never even been close to have any sort of wheel hop before.

 

[TRUUBLE]

If you have MM LCAs, the quadshocks are just dead weight.

I ditched mine so long ago I don't even remember what they looked like.

 

[94darkhorse]

Ditch 'em.

This is correct.
they make up for a portion of the poor job the stock suspension does at keeping the axle in place.

 

[scarface]

when I went from IRS to a solid axle, I didnt even install the quad shocks mount...Ditch them.

Ditch umm
