Expert Reply:
If you are talking about flipping your axle so it mounts below your leaf springs then yes! You should definitely take this opportunity to install an axle flip kit. There is no better time then right now. If this is not what you are talking about then feel free to email me directly with some more information!
There are two options to install an axle flip kit which one you need is going to depend on the thickness of your trailer's axle. I have listed both options below:
2-3/8" Diameter Axle - Dexter Trailer Springs Over-Under Conversion Kit item # K71-384-00
3" Diameter Axle - Dexter Trailer Springs Over-Under Conversion Kit item # K71-385-00
