    Since you are a newbie I think you might be thinking of a ball joint flip. The ball joint bracket gets unbolted and moved to the top of the arm.

    A am flip is mainly for wen ur bagged and the BJ binds up and wont let u lay or steering seems to bind up. Also pie cutting the arm is another thing that has been done for the same reason.

    Doesnt seem like anything you could use for a static setup. Atleast from all ive seen/read

    im doing it for clearance issues because my steering shaft rubs my a arm and its sucks but if it was flipped i dnt think it would so im taking a chance wether itll work or not..i hope it works...and ithelps to lay on bigger rims..i heard some using it on dropped trucks for 2inch drop or 1inch ..
