just get a set of heavy duty lowers and toss the quads, but if I remember correctly, as I've chucked mine awhile ago,they are from chassis(pointing towards the front) to the rear axle.

remove the rear tire, there are 2 shocks on the rear. The quads are the smaller shocks that are NOT vertically oriented (more horizontal).

The quads are generally useless, but ONLY if you have done control arms. If you remove them and you start getting wheel hop though you still need them.

+1 If you still have the stock control arms you'll most likely get some pretty bad wheel hop.

The part the guy is unbolting in the pic is the quadshock. As the others have said, it's the more horizontal shock.

sometimes if you dont want to remove them you can just flip them and gain almost another inch of clearance
