Turning a hitch upside down?

On my f250 the reciever is lower then the bumper. Does it hurt anything to turn a hitch upside down? The hitch has no drop but the reciever is so low that the trailer is going down hill and the truck is level.

I do it all the time pulling large trailers and pieces of farm equipment have had no issues in 15 years of doing this.

Wasn't sure. I've seen hitches that have a recess in the top where the ball goes in the shape of a nut but not on the bottom. Looks like I'm doing a flip. Thanks
