Is there anything it can hurt by removing the quad shocks?
I just did a little searching and found the quad shocks are there to prevent wheel hop due to the factory control arms having rubber bushings. Most people say if you have good UCA & LCA's with poly bushings you can remove the quad shocks and not have to worry about wheel hop. I'm still not sure what the benefits are other than being able to clear wider wheels. I've also read that replacing worn quad shocks will help keep the rear end planted to the ground on a launch and give better control while accelerating turning.
