Are you running bump stops since the axle flip ?

No...IIRC there were none stock either, but not positive. Did you pull the trigger on the flip yet?

I don't have bumpstops now but the springs cannot invert right now either. The axle tube would hit the frame.
I have seen guys invert springs on off-road crawlers without running bumpstops after going spring over. I am a total newbie on the campers so didn't know if we needed bumpstops or not.

I have an appointment on Monday morning. Local place said it would cost $300+parts and would have it done the same day.

I don't understand how if you are lifting the camper by going spring OVER, the axle tube would hit the frame. It is the closest in a spring under configuration.

It wouldn't but the springs could over travel and break/bend something pretty easily.

300 + parts is a great deal.

There is a guy that just moved in with a spring over Attitude to clear his lifted Ford, which is taller than mine. He doesn't know his height, tho. I know he has a large step stool to get in.

Stromberg Carlson makes a good portable step. I added one -P-102 after doing my spring over axle conversion. Camping world and other places carry them.

Platform Step

There is a guy that just moved in with a spring over Attitude to clear his lifted Ford, which is taller than mine. He doesn't know his height, tho. I know he has a large step stool to get in.

Perfect, thanks for the info !

I put my camper on leveling blocks until I got the rear end 5" higher. The ramp gate didn't seem to steep.
The brochures say we are at 12'9"... I figure another 5" (guessing that is what it will add) won't be too tall.

I plan on measuring mine once I get it lifted to make sure I know exactly how tall it it. Last thing I want to do is hit something overhead.
