Default Quad Shock Debate

Alright so I just ordered anthracite fr500s 17x9 front with 275/40-17 tires and 17x10.5 rear with 315/35-17 I have a completely stock suspension so I know I'll have to remove the quad shocks is this okay and is it necessary to replace the Lower control arm, I really don't have money for that after the wheels

ive heard of ppl flipping the quads to clearthe tires. i think you can get away with removing them for now but highly suggest getting the lower control arms when you can. the wheel hop will be worst when removed with factory control arms

You don't need to remove them with that setup. I left mine on

Before I had my suspension done I didn't have any clearance problems at all with 315s.
