I will be flipping mine when i replace my uppers i liked it on my 2wd so i am going to give it a shot on my 4x4

 

looks like no adapter plate is needed for the flip?

 

Nope, Just remove the ball joint and mount it to the bottom of the arm.

 

sick I can't wait to try this when my moogs come in! awesome post man thanks for the great idea.

 

Yeah they will mount right up. The ca is stamped so the surfice is the same on the top and bottom

 

I know this is a VERY OLD post but I think it should be brought back up because I did this and it was a life and CASH saver!!! (hope i'm not breaking any rule)

Check out the ball joint flip on my 97 Blazer 4x4 with spacers and then look at how MUCH it corrected my neg camber!!!

very nice

 

Yes.... I think people should look into this more often, rather than spending the massive amounts of money to get new a arms. It's SUCH an easy and cheap fix (free if you don't buy the spacers or can fabricate them yourself)! I haven't had ANY problems after the mod and my truck drives like a dream compared to the way it did before. It straightened out my CV axles A LOT too and they don't get tugged on nearly as much while turning or flexing. I just want people to know about this, because I was having a helluva time figuring out a solution without spending 100's and 100's of dollars... followed by a lot of work. I really think this conversation/thread should be turned into a sticky or how-to.... IMO

 

im glad this got bumped up, i think im gonna do this when i do my shackles/t-bar crank

shotnva did u make the spacers?

 

No I bought them... ill post the site a little later when i can find it. You have to go buy new (longer) bolts when you put in spacers though. Just the flip alone makes a helluva difference though, believe it or not.
