i heard the quad shocks isn't necessary if your diff ratio is better than 2.73

for gettin your rearend stiffer your better to put an aftermarket lower and upper arm or weld a plate under your stock ones

no the quad shocks are needed regardless of your gear ratio, once you replace your control arms with nice stiff pieces then you can ditch the quads.

The quads band-aid a bad design.

You'll probably need to flare the fronts.  Mustang guys often put 315s out back.
