the quad shocks(horizontals) are designed to eliminate wheel hop. if you do not have them hooked up, this is likely why you have wheel hop. i suggest hooking them back up

Well this is what I mean by quick fix. I have never installed shocks before. Will it be easy to throw some pair of shocks in where they are missing?

Thanks for the help

You`ll want to get a set for THAT application. Not just a set of shocks, but yes should be easy. I had a 79" that doesn`t have quads and wow that thing was like a jackrabbit. My 90" has the quads, nooooo wheel hop, nice!

You could get U/L's for the price of good quads.....

Well which would be better quad shocks or U/L's. Consider that only two of the shocks are missing currently, one on each side.

gspfunk

U/L's, definitely. ...and there are only 2 quad shocks...they supplement your rear shocks.

Someone mentioned before that the quad shocks should be for "THAT application". What exactly does this mean? Can I buy just plain shocks, or do I need something special for the job?

Thanks for the help funk

no they are a special little shock, http://www.latemodelrestoration.com/...0%201&comp=LRS

just get better lower and upper control arms and forget the quad shocks.

quad shocks were Fords answer to a weakly designed control arm setup.
by putting in stronger control arms you elimnate the need for the quad shocks.

the best thing to control axle rotation or "wheel hop" is a 3link "torqu arm" set-up and you can get rid of your upper control arms as well.

I looked up a few sets so far. The macs were approx. $150 for uppers and $150 for lowers. Others sold the kits for about $350. Is this typical pricing? This is quite expensive in order to get rid of wheel hop.

Anyone think that I should pay the $110 for the quad shocks r.barn put a link up for above?
