Heads up, the toe angle of the wheels is set (formeed) into the axle by the direction of traveling forward with the axle up (Top)and the wheel camber too. If you have "toe in" now and flip the axle upside down it can become "toe out". And postive camber becomnes negative camber, A no no. This may affect tire wear and trailer tracking.
Normally the over/under conversions do not rotate the axle, they move the spring pack and they change the axle seat. This way wheel toe and camber are not affected. Trailer slang called "axle flip" is techncially wrong. It is over/under. There is no flipping of the axle itself.
