ok so i got to thinking... blah blah blah to cut it short. can the rear axle be flipped from being over the leaf springs to under them, i understand some custom fab will be needed, i'm cool with that. but how do you supposed to go about it.
if i'm right i think it will add around 3-4 inches at least to my ride hieght, i'll be doing a little work to the front as well to even it out. i just want to go higher than what i have so i can fit the tire size i want.
my idea is to get the same hardware you see on most trucks with axle-over leaf setups. 2 Ubolts and the "bracket" on the bottom side. but that will mean i have to fab something for my shocks to sit on. below is a pic of my setup. i'm not sure if it's stock as i had a lift put on i know the shackle and the shock is after market, but i'm not sure if the mounting hardware/bracket is factory or not. please don't bash i have a direction with my truck and this is part of what i want to do, i just want to do it right, that iw why i am asking for help.
