What about those quad shocks?

Hey everyone, it’s me again. I have a question that I know has been asked 1,000,000 times, but no matter how much I read I still can’t manage to understand it. What was the purpose of the quad shocks, dumbed down to monkey terms?


Thanks in advance (assuming anyone touches this dead horse of a question)

Quad shocks are very simply to give you more oil capacity for shock absorbing needs. So it's an off-road capability thing.

Snowplow thing too - you got lots more weight way up front wanting to bounce up and down, this works just the two shocks extra hard.
