He may not want a "hauler or a flat bed".
And - in some states (CA) *any* pickup with a flat bed or a utility body must stop at scales.
The OP from CT may never get that far West - but somebody from AZ??
What does that mean for out-of-state reciprocity in re GVWR?
Maybe nothing, maybe ignored - or maybe a weight check like any other commercial vehicle - regardless of (state) plates..:h

For the OP:
Explore all other options before flipping axles!
(However Dexter does make an "Over-Under Conversion Kit").
Is there another pin box option - will the 5th clear the bed rails?
IMO - add-on (welded) channel to the frame to re-mount suspension in conventional position is superior to flipping axles.
There was a poster who posted pics of that - which should be in the archives (it was well over a year ago).
Hopefully some creative keywords would locate it in "search".
