why dont you just remove all the leafs except the one that mounts on the frame. it will bow up and basically be the same as flipping them. it will ride on the bumpstop either way.

i dont see how you could do that and not have the leafs hit the frame bro i think your thinking of a flip kit which is flipping the axle from under the pack to on top of the leaf pack like some shit used to be require not flipping the leaf itsself

the flipped leaf is just asking for a beat on the truck, just pull the 2 middle out and 3 inch block, and it'll ride like a champ

i don't know if your still needing an answer to this question, but there's negatives in both flipping the leaf pack upside down, and mono-leafing.
monoleafing leads to axle wrap, which is bad, can wear out your u-joints and cause noise,
Flipping the leaf pack upside down is all bad. you get all the inconvience of a bad ride, topped with the unsafety of no spring rebound. what i'm saying is, say you go over a huge set railroad tracks, your normal springs push down, to push the axle down to the ground, to keep the tires in contact. when you flip it upside down, your springs are now pushing up, keeping your axle up close to your frame, instead of pushing toward the ground. you could spin out, die, crash your truck, or possibly it'll be fine. dont flip them
