I think the best way to flip an axle is to weld new perches on the bottom,but if you dont have access to a welder,the flip kits will also work well. I flipped the axle on the longhorn,used direct connection pads& moved the spring hangers down approx 1 1/4" to get it back up a little(im not runnin a frame notch),but have roughly 3" clearance between the axle & frame. If you remove any leafs(I took the flat helper,+ 2 short leaf out of mine),I would reccomend using a set of slapper bars to take care of the wheel hop. Good luck.........69longhorn.
