iv had the Pro3i weight jacker lower arms for some time now but still have the stock uppers...i get bad wheel hop if i spin the tires....not sure if new uppers will help or not but i figure they need replacing anyway...but is there a certain kind i should go with? was looking at the matching pro3i uppers but they seem pretty spendy?

I feel the best sollution to get rid of wheel hop is to
replace the rear shocks, The stock shocks are weak IMO.

i removed the quads to fit my Nitto's..not to mention one was slit open and the other side the bracket thats bolted to the body to hold the quad was broke....and i was going to just flip them but after coming across those problums i just trashed them...and i havnt seen anywhere, where you can get factory style quads..there usually the KYB type and i didnt think it would work to flip them?

I agree but you will like something that is adjustable so you can soften them up.

deffinitely get the adj uppers so you can set your pinion angle. there's an article on hardcore50 that explains why pinion angle is important, i just can't seem to find it.
