i just got done measuring and i have a 4.5" backspacing... also, the driver side sits a half an inch lower than the passenger side in the rear. (25.5" Driver - 26" Passenger) So i need some springs... any recommendations?

265/50R15 will tuck nicely on the stock wheels with the quad shocks. With 5.5" backspacing, the quad shocks must come off.
8" wheel with 5.50" backspacing and no quad shock


7" prime wheels with quad shock (backspacing unknown right now)

when you take the quad shock off, do you need to do anything else? like lower control arms, or just leave it?

Lower control arms are pretty much a must. You will most likely get alot of wheel hop with stock LCA and no quads.
