How much lift from axle flip?

[99beast]

Well i have been reading a little on and off about flipping the rear axle and putting it under the leaf springs. My question is how much lift do you get from doing this. I have a 3" BL now but i have been wanting to do this for a while.

Thanks

lift you will achive is determined by 3 things.
thickness of leaf pack.
diameter of axle tube,
hieght spring perch protrudes above the tube.

ad these 3 measurements together and you now have your lift ammount.

and, BTW.. you ARE NOT flipiing your axle. if you did that you'd have alot of gears in reverse, and one forward. actually.. hmm. with the full time 4x4, it might even rip your truck in half. LOL.

you need to relocate the springs to the top of the axle tube, this nessecitates welding new perches on.
