flipped I beams

I was looking through the member trucks galleries and saw a few trucks that mentioned flipped i beams. does this lower or raise the truck i got the impression from one set of pics that it would raise the truck and then another described a drop from 24inches to aroung 18.5inches at bumper height on a 73-79 half ton. how easy, cheap or reasonable is this type of mod

flipped I beams

Flipping I beams applies to 2WD I beam trucks. There is a post from a while back that I posted in. Flipping the stock I beams will lift the truck but most of us are waiting for someone here to do it first and let us know how it goes. It is unknown what problems may occour. To drop I beam suspended trucks it is recomended to buy drop I beams to maintain camber and such.
