Default Quadra Shock Flipping Question??????

I am looking into getting some 18 Black dd FR500"s for my 02 GT and have been told to run a 10 or 10.5 inch wheel you have to flip the quadra shock. How do you do this??????

I didn't have any issues with my DD bullitts... but i did get 17s.

If your really worried about it get a set of lower control arms and just ditch the kicker shocks.

Taking it off could be an option if they dont do anything but how do you flip them? mount the bracket that bolts to the frame towards the front of the car or what?

Take them off, you'll figure it out... They can only go on 2 ways. Our brains are tired, use your own, j/k....

I haven't yet heard of flipping them to fix clearance. I have a 295 width tire out back (18x10 wheel) and there's plenty of clearance, a 315 would clear it. If it doesn't, you can just remove the quad shocks,they onlyprevent wheelhop and are not necessary.

Edit: stopping to think about it, you just switch the ends, so the original front end of the shock would be facing to the rear... the stock is more narrow in the back, and if it is extended, even much more narrow... but if your tire rubs up against it then, it's shot anyway.
