IF you have the payload for the additional 400# then give it a try.
Added benefit is having the extra 60(+) gallons of fresh water.
You really need 6" or better of bedrail clearance.
Axles flipped then the next step is having spring mounts/shackles cut off, square tubing (2,3,4 inch) welded onto frame and then spring mounts/shackles welded back in place and having cross tubes welded side to side at mounts. Anything else would just be a bandaid.
