Thanks for the response! I have not decided if I want to put the quad shocks on. I am to read that if I use urethane bushings along with a spherical control arm, wheel hop should not be a problem, at least I hope so. I have not purchased the wheels and tires yet. The question I have is this. Does the quad shock sit outside or inside the frame rail? I would assume the frame rail would limit the inner offset of the wheel for any additional deeper wheel, correct?. If the shock sticks outside the rail, then the wheel depth would also be limited. I don't want to waste the time welding in a frame to hold the other end of the shock if I have to get a narrower wheel. I want wide wheels, lol. Are you able to let me know if that is the case?

I will be sending the lowers to the powder coater very soon, and will put the bushings in (I had temporarily fit them). They are about a 16th of an inch short of meeting in the center of the bushing, but Energy told me that this should not be a problem. The center sleeve is exactly 3" wide to fit in the brackets and the bushings have lips on them that squeeze in the housing as well. Energy said that these are the perfect size for the hold I had to fill.
