it looks like a short shock. i took them off mine. from what i understand you dont need them if you have aftermarket control arms. they are all black and mounted on the rearend going up to the body.

If you had them you'd know. From the side of your car look over the rear tire. You'll see it mounted from the chassis to the suspension. They're useless if you have decent aftermarket control arms. Also, if you are going with wider tires and rims you will have to take them off in order for the inside of the tire to clear.

depending on the rim size you can fit up to 275 plus or minus without the quad shocks

You can also flip your quads the other way for a little more tire clearance.

It all depends. With my lift bar setup, I did notice wheel-hop without quad shocks.

you just need some good lower control arms and you can take the quads off.

And woody - the quads are the shocks that mount at a 45* angle.
