U-Bolt flip

Has anyone ever heard of a u-bolt flip on a 2017+ F250/F350? Seems very common on Tundras. I am attracted by how clean the bottom of the rear axle looks. I could then fit my bump stop on top of my leaf springs as I need to relocate for my air bags anyway.

Interesting question

don’t know the answer

i can tell you on my 2010 there was a curved metal plate on top to cradle the u bolt and a flat metal plate on the bottom to accept the bolt nuts.....on that config, didn’t look likely that it could be flipped.
