i'd line them up together so they grip and spin at the same time, if you dont it might make the ride a little rougher but since the paddles will hit at different times you kno

just leave them if they are lined up the back end will bounce i guess you could call it because they will be on the tread then off the tread over and over resulting in a bounce.

This is one of those personal preference things, where the only way to develop an opinion is by personal experience. If you have a powerful quad, you are likely to be running a greater number of paddles anyway, and that alone will smooth it out for you.

For me, I have never made a big deal out of this, I just put the tires on and go ride (8-paddles Skat-Trak Edges on my 450, and 6-paddle on the 400EX)!
