rear shackle flip

I am considering fliping my rear shackles so the shackle hangs down instead of up, as was described in this post. [https://www.ford-trucks.com/dcforum/bigbronco/280.html]

I was wondering if there is anybody out there who has done this and is there any advantage to doing this besides getting a cheap and easy lift. Does it improve the ride or wheel travel any? or would I get better results out of leaving the shackles the way they are and buying new rear springs?

thanks for any help
