Yes, assuming you stay with a 52" rear, 4.5" shackle, and bolt the flip to the factory rear hanger as they're intended, it'll move the axle forward. Assuming we're talking the ORD or DIY4X flip here, this isn't first gen specific. Changing the rear shackle from tension to compression, you put the rear spring eye roughly 8" lower than it originally was. Since the front eye position is fixed, and the spring length is constant, the rear eye moves in an arc downwards, bringing the forward axle with it.
