okay so i just got new upper and lower ball joints and tie rod ends for my 87 b2000. i was thinking about flipping my lowers while im in there....i have a couple questions...

can i do it with stock rims?

how much will my wheels camber?

benefits? drawbacks?

You should have no problem doing it with stock wheels.. What are you looking for it to do??

just get that extra half inch of drop. haha

Yeah you should have know problem doing it on stock wheels.. Just unbolt them and cut out the control arm so you can re bolt them to the top.. If you are worried about strength just re plate the bottom of the control arm.. Thats how i did mine..

alright well. how about the camber issue? i dont want to eat tires every couple of months...

Uhh im not sure.. my truck is bodied on 18's so my camber is crap any way lol but as far as it being on a stock truck im not sure.. i dont think that a half inch should mess with it to much..

waste of time. truck will ride like ass and wear out your balljoints because theyre working against themselves.

I have 14s with 205/65/14s and all I've done is crank down the torsions.
