lower control arms with flipped ball joints

so i have the three inch lowrin control arms from stylinconcepts.com and they r designed so u can flip the ball joing over to get additional drop probably about two more inches. just wondering if any one has done this. If so did you have big problems with scraping the control arms on the ground?

there is no need to flip the balljoints on lowered control arms....especially on a truck where you can re index the torsions for a 2 inch drop no problem....

right but doesn't it make sense to try to get as much drop as i can with out touching the torsions so i can keep the torsion bolts as high off the ground as i can? that way i do not have to worry as much about ripping them off. also wouldn't it give me more suspension travel?

No, for the simple fact that you can re index the torsions so the bolts will be higher than factory. You run a risk of putting the lower control arm dangerously close to the ground by flipping balljoints.....Not to mention by lowerint the truck 4 - 5 inches by using the lower control arm and balljoint only you are changing the geometry of the upper control arm and probably putting more camber into the suspension( more negative camber) than if you just used the LCA by itself.

I'm running DJM Lower control arm with the lower ball joint flipped, with 16's and bags no problems.

man, i never would have thought about all this. i am also running djm 3" lower control arms and was thinking about flipping the ball joints until now. good information to know.

ya but when you flip the ball joint you dont get 2" of drop.. more like 3/4"-1" drop... because you are just raising the ball joint to the top of the lower control arm not actually flipping it... if you flip the ball joint it will not fit into the spindle cause the ball joint is tapered and only goes on one way....
Unless you are running drop spindles

I realise you are not flipping the balljoint....just relocating it...just it is commonly refered to as flipping....

as for mazdapromp3 why on earth with 16's did you flip the ballljoint....Not hating just curious you can run 17's and 18's on stock arms....wo with a 3" drop arms there should be no problem.....

yeah i was sayin flip the ball joint over completely. didn't know that wouldn't work figured if it went in one way it would go in the other...good to know that it wont. so if i am just flipin it regular (relocating it to the top) we r talking 3" LCA and now maybe an inch more with the joint so 4" total. if i adjust the load on the torsions to get another two inches (so the front matches the back) will there be problems with negative camber?

I re-tapered my spindles when I flipped the BJs
