I have the same size tires on my rear N no rub no matter how fast I take a turn. Quadshocks are only meant for wheelhop if I remember right. If you have upgraded upper/lower control arms you don't need to run them, I don't.

i run them, flipped my quad shocks but it was still rubbing on the inner fenderwell by the top of the shock. took a sledge hammer to it for a bit and no more rub. im also running a 17/9 inch rim though, i am pretty sure with anything widder or shorter you have the yank the quad shocks.

My understanding is with the after market arms, you can remove the quad shocks.
However when I installed my BBK lowers, I kept the quads as well with (4lug) 275 40 17s. The wheels did rub on the quad shock and wheel wells but only when making hard turns.

Like others said, you don't need the quad shocks.

There is a company that sells aftermarket quadshocks that are inverted to allow the use of wider tires. Can't remember the brand off hand but I used to use them.
