Flipping Stock Center Trailing Arm Crossmember

[TudorJeff]

Has anyone every flipped the stock cross member that holds the trailing arms in place? I was staring at one of my chassis' the other day and it sure looks like it might correct some of the pinion angle added in by lowering the rear of the truck.

in other words, flipping the cross member looks like it would effectively raise the front of the trailing arm mounting location. That would raise the snout of the rear end, taking out some of the extra pinion angle that is put in when the lowering springs are added.

I did a search and didn't come up with anything. Just looking for thoughts or real life experiences with it. Thanks.
