I want to get rid of my rear quads so i can fit bigger tires. Will traction or lift bars be a good replacement? Also, is the install hard? and Does it affect the stance the car has? ![[Confused]](confused.gif)

If you get non lift style control arms like the BBK's, Factory 5's, ect the stance won't be affected. Maximum Motorsports sells some arms that have an adjustable spring pirch if you're really worried about stance. Installing them is very easy, just make sure you have a good socket set.
I say remove the quad shocks, put on your wider tires, if you notice wheel hop, look into lower control arms. If you don't notice anything, enjoy the wider tires.

installing LCA's is a PITA!!!
requires a lot of leveraging and jacking and repositioning. Best done with an assistant. ![[worship]](graemlins/worship.gif)

You should be fine. The rule with quad shocks is to take them off, if you notice wheel hop or any other negative side effects, put them back on.

Installing a torque-arm and a Panhard bar will let you take 'em off with no worries. Of course that's $$$
