I'm flipping out

Well planning to flip some ball joints this weekend! Looking at a 4-day break, so why not work on the truck some? If I flip both joints, then nothing will change (on the geometry) and the truck will drop about an inch right? I've also got a set of 4 inch blocks for the back. They will go on as soon as the front sits better. It's going to look so much better dropped some!

you should get roughly 1" of drop or more yes, and be sure to post pics

definatly will take pics of the process. I'm planning on using a step drill in the press to make quick work of those bumps. What has anyone else done? Just grind or torch? Thanks for the reply!

I didn't accomplish the mission. All of my joints are bad & need replaced. Money is a bit tight, so in the next month or so I'll pick up new parts and get to flippin' then. I'm going to get some measurements and hopefully find a cheaper alternative. $50 (autozone) per lower sux. If anyone knows this already please help! Thanks!

Do any of you know about these "OEBrand" ball joints on ebay? If they are any good I can have all 4 shipped for about $75 US. Any input?
