Is the quad shock shock supposed to pull toward the rear of the car. Or push toward the front of the car? Meaning what direction do these go on?

I'm just barley rubbing on my rear tires. 275/45 stock length ranger axels and 03 Cobra wheels 17x9 Gonna cut the shock cover and see if I can clear. Any other ideas besides spacers?

They're a 50/50 shock, so they can be turned in either direction. Flipping them is pretty common, in order to gain that little bit of extra clearance you might need.

Same exact setup as you, mine hit pretty bad so I just took them off...flipping didn't clear for me.

stock upper and lowers...some wheel hop. I have not launched it hard at all though so I couldn't say for sure...I think it's a car-by-car thing
