Default Contaol arms and shocks

ok as I understand it if I put upper and lower control arms on my fox then i can run any shock i want correct?, instead of the "quad shock".
What is a quad shock and y do i need to get rid of it?

Ummm....no...kind of.

The quad shocks are smaller shocks that help reduce wheel hop due to the weak stock control arms (completely seperate from your rear shocks/springs). UPR and JD's performance sell sets of U/L's for $159 & $169. You will be able to run wider tires/wheels w/o the quads, also.

The quad shocks are horizontal compared to the regular shocks and keep the axle from shifting around bends and taking off hard.

IF THE CONTROL ARMS ARE REPLACED CAN YOU REMOVE THE QUAD SHOCKS ALL TOGETHER?
