I have never heard this mentioned when people talk about flipping the trailing arms, but it makes sense.

If you look at the the trailing arm, due to the location of the coil spring, raising the mounting point isgoing to lower the axle mounting point, in relation to the ground, which will then rais the body of the truck.

I just did this flip on mine, and it raised the truck a good solid 1".
