Rearend Flip

[UNCLESLiK]

Hey everybody. i just joined today and i figured id ask the question id been wanting to know for a while.....Anybody ever flip the rearend under the springs on their 91-94 Ex? ive been considering it, im happy with what i got. i just wanna see if it would be a plus or a minus to do

thnx for help

Yep, most people here with 4"+ lift kits, flip the rear axle (commonly called a SOA around here). It is a plus to do, as long as you do something up front to match it.

94 XLT on 35's baby! w00t!

What kind of setup are you running to fit 35s without a SOA?

thnx, i got 4" susp, it gets a bit close on the fenders when ya hit some of the hardcore trails but its all good for whats around here. i mostly like the height for show. if i flip it all ill have to do is just get the 2" spring bushings for the front though right?

No, if you do a spring over axle conversion in the rear you will get 4-5" of lift.
The 1-5/8" coill spacer up front will not match.

If you want to runt he coil spacer up front then you want to run Warrior 2" shackles on the rear leaf springs to match the front.

To match a spring over axle rear lift you will need a 4-6" lift kit for the front.
