Default upper ball joints

so i know this is probably an old question but i am changing my upper ball joints again....2 mnths after replacement. I am running about a 2 inch lift stressing the uppers horribly. The question is can i do the ball joint flip without spacers or will i have to modify to get the ball joints to mount up flat to the oe arms. Thanks.

If the ball-joint flip doesn't work you could install the Rough Country upper control arms. This is what I did for my lift.

420 canadian after taxes new. Ask me how I know lol...

I'm curious about this flip. I've just started to hear about it.

are the ball joint locations slightly off center? Will that effect it any?

Edit: they deliver to a store close by, I can get the info if you go that route.
