Re: Axel flip
"Axle flip" is a kind of misleading way to name it, as you don't really flip anything. You have to relocate axle from the bottom side to the top side of the leaf springs, it's pretty much self explanatory once you look underneath the van.
This link http://www.volksforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=60816 may help you to understand what's involved (scroll down to the middle of the page, where he's doing suspension).
Hope this helps.

Re: Axel flip
Does the axle flip increase the ground clearance of the axle as well as lowering the body of the van?

Re: Axel flip
No, the axle stays exactly where it is in relation to the ground as long as you keep the same wheels.
