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

Am i reading this wrong? It looks like that per Dexters instructions, bump stops are only required when axles are "slung" over the springs
14. Reinstall wheel and tire; lower vehicle to ground.
Recheck wheel nut and U-bolt nut torque. Check for
proper braking function. Recheck wheel nut torque
periodically thereafter.
Note: When converting from underslung to
overslung, the installation of bump stops to prevent
suspension over travel and resulting possible spring
damage or breakage is highly recommended. Axle
travel should be limited to the amount available prior
to mounting conversion.
When converting from overslung to underslung,
adequate suspension travel is required to prevent
the axle(s) from bottoming out prematurely,
resulting in axle bending.
