Any Regrets Flipping Axles?
Hello, I am about to flip my axles for more ground clearance.TT Have you done yours and regretted doing it, if so why? Thanks

I'm confused over the "add bump stops" comments.
If your trailer has axle tube "on top" of leaf spring packs and NO bump stops (as seen within - click here - ), then simply simply re-position axle "under" the leaf spring packs. If round axle tube, then tube saddles should be welded ontop of axle. I don't trust bolt on under/over kits. Due to axle arch / bow shape, the axle isn't really flipped. It's actually re-positioned under the leaf spring packs. For example on my boat trailer - click here -
If you are concerned current leaf spring packs having "too much" compression, simply +1 "up size" to their next available size. For example, 3,200 lbs leaf spring packs to 3,400 lbs leaf spring packs. Especially if you want more compression strength safety buffer for those double / triple railway tracks.
This works for me...
