rear axle flip

Thanks everyone for the input. I wasn’t expecting such odd input. I guess there are more people that don’t know what a rearend flip is. Lol I was asking to see if anyone had done this before to see the possibilities. Ill see what my options are from here.

Odd input? It’s an odd question. There’s a reason no one had done this before on one of these cars. It will not be a 2- 3” lift.

Like RRR said, it’s gonna be a lot higher. If you have 3” axle tubes, flipping the rear perches underneath will start as a 3” lift. Then, you’re going to add the height of the perches themselves. Then you’re going to add the height of the spring pack. It’s gonna end up being at least a 5” lift, maybe more like 6”. Even if you have a 7.25” with smaller tubes it’s still gonna be 4-5”.

That’s not a little rake, it’s not even a lot of rake. It’s a stupid amount of rake. Like a truck with a 6” lift at one end and stock at the other. You’ll shift the CG way forward, which will put a bunch more weight on the front suspension. That will completely bottom out the front suspension with stock torsion bars. The rear being that high will also add a TON of negative caster. The car will feel like driving a shopping cart. And forget roll centers and handling.

Sure, maybe a couple people didn’t know what you were asking because they’re not familiar with lowering trucks or 4x4 suspension. But the rest of us are just confounded as to why you’d even consider this.
