I've had mine done on my F-150 & I haven't had any issues with it what so ever so far. Flipped rods raised uppers and joint flip, eliminated alot of camber and bump steer. But that was with a Ford not too certain on a GM but if done properly all should be good.

If you are going to flip the tie rod to the bottom side of the spindle, I would drop the rack down the same amount. The pivots are all supposed to be equal lengths apart.

ok i can do that i guess for now i can just flip them and get the truck more together and drop the rack after the fact ...
any other opinions .... agree or disagree

I cut my outer tie rod end, jogged it up about an inch, along with the upper and lower control arm, and plated the hell out of it.

Without seeing exactly what your front suspension looks like, it's hard to say what is going to happen. Initially, I would assume that it is going to indusce a good amount of bump-steer, but if other parts have been moved, it may work out. Seth is right though, it dosen't matter how the front end is set-up, it still needs to adhere to the diagram that he posted if it's going to have a tollerable amount of bump-steer problems.
Post some pics of it when you're done. I'd like to see what you came up with.
