adjustable are nice. i have strange 10ways. you can adjust them for track use to get a better launch or for road course to get better handeling.

unless your installing some new better than stock control arms i would leave the quads on.or it will be wheel hop city,without them/ and better shocks.

why? just leave them on. they cant hurt n e thing. i also have granitelli U/L control arms and i kept the quad shocks. the only reason for gettin rid of them imo is if u have a wheel that is too wide.

um i have a 255 but should be able to fit a 275 with the quad shock flipped. and if not you dont NEED them if u have aftermarket control arms. but they cant hurt if you can fit them. better protection from wheel hop imo

my next set of tires will be on 17x9 rims
front 245/45/17
rear 275/40/17
