I'm considering having the axles flipped while I have the trailer in the shop here soon. Are there any issues I should consider with tracking, tire wear, etc?

Might have to get the brake wires to the wheels made longer.

lots of trailers come with the axles flipped. flipping them will raise the trailer center of gravity, that does have an affect on stability. How much, who knows.

And it's slightly higher to get into or out of. But you get more clearance and may make leveling the trailer for towing easier.
