What do you all mean by "flip the axles"? Are you moving the springs over the axle instead of under? This process is also used in older 4x4's to get an easy riding lift because it uses the stock springs and gains about 5 -6" of height.

On my 4x4 2003 16k reese. Did not flip the axles on 5th. I removed the 2 short spacers fron under the truck springs and placed them on top of the springs, put it back togethe .Doing this it lowered the truck 4in in the rear.Now the thuck sets level with the trailer.

 

I have a hitchhiker 31.5 and it is about an inch high when hooked up and hitch set all the way down in the bed, which is acceptable. I have about 7 inches of clearance over rails. Most 5fers are not that high so would be a problem. I used to have a 03 2500 and when hooked up with hitch adjusted mid way, it was perfectly level . Dually 3500 is about 2 inches higher than 2500 wass.
