Default dual shock delete

hey, i want to go with a wider rear tire. i put some 275.50.16 and they rub a lil bit on the second shock. i believe its for axel roll or something of that sort. can i take that out, or is there something i need to buy to replace it or just make more room?

If it's just a little, flip them over so the narrow sections is nearer the tire.

When I had my quad shocks I had to flip them also. Works real well.

I have always heard to flip them. Just flip them until you upgrade your U/L control arms, then remove them boogers
