axle flip is a bad idea.....dropped axle is the way to go or take out some springs(which can cause other issues)

It is wiser to "drop", than to "flip".... :joker
Do a search as there are plenty of threads on this topic.

I have read a few posts on the axle flip and it definitely seems to be a lot less costly than a dropped axle. Can you explain further on why the flip is a bad idea?

Thanks, BK

BK, flipped axles in the front can cause bump steer. That is really bad since you can not steer the vehicle when you hit a bump just right. Very scary if you've ever had it happen to you! Hope this helps. Mike
