get control arms and get rid of the quad shocks. its there to help prevent wheel hop and if you have aftermarket control arms, itll fix a lot of that problem too.

I run 315's with no rubbing. I have the Bullet suspension which is a bit higher then yours, but you should be fine.

You're going to get a lot of grip with that wide a tire, is the rest of your drive train ready for that? Also, you might want to weld in your boxes, and add subframe bracing to start with.

If the tires rub on tha quad then you can turn it 180 degrees and that should give your tires a bit more room, and yeah 315's and stock clutch's dont mix lol

shouldn't have any problems as far as rubbing because its lowered.. those are the same height as your stock tires I do believe.
