It wont hurt anything because regardless of what you do you still need to check the pinion angle and shim accordingly if necessary.

Think of it this way, when you lower the truck the trailing arm mount drops and the more the tire wants to try and drive over the mount. If you move the arm mount up the tire tries try to roll under the mount and the mount pushes against the body of the truck to increase traction. Auto-crossers use adjustable mounts for tuning there chassis to get the amount of force they want to the tire (anti-squat).

if you don't like it flip it back over
