What exactly do quad shocks do, and what are the down falls on removing them to fit a larger tire?

Most people remove them when they replace the rear upper/lower control arms. I removed mine when I put my C/O's on.

Quads are there to controll wheel hop. They were Ford's idea of how to correct the weak stock controll arms.
