Did you remove the leaf springs whan you did the flip? If so, are they tighened down all the way? It is impossible (well almost) to install the axle wrong on the springs since there are buttons to line it all up.

how did you put them back together? with it up on jackstands, and then tightened them? or did you loosely bolt everything together, set it in the ground, and then tighten everything? the latter is what you should have done, except for the u-bolts.
