another lowering question

I have flipped the axles on my 1958 Apache-- It lowered the truck approximately 6" in the back and 4 1/2" in the front. That may a bit much for my liking. I was thinking about fabbing 1" longer shackles for the front and taking the spring mounts in the rear and flipping them.( driver's side to p***enger side) and rotating them so that the shackle poinst down. I believe that it would raise the back up 2-3". Anybody see any problems with that? Thanks.

 

...That would work, not sure how much it'd raise the rear,...here's a pic of my 55 truck rear spring mount I flip'd over and bolted to the top of the frame, then I mounted the rearend on top of the leafs....note mine has longer "lowering" shackles on it also but they are only an inch or so longer than stockers.
No problem with the bed fitting back on the frame as I did mine, there's a couple inches of space between the rail & bottom of bed.
,...maybe this wiil help, maybe not.?

...here's the stance I ended up with...

 

Thanks Rusty 1
Thanks Centex I appreciate the input.
1. I missed the rule that you had to do an intro.
2. I ***umed that "flipping the axles" was a common phrase known to most people familiar with modifying cars.
2.a. I am taking these things into consideration. I don't profess to know everything-- that is why I am here asking questions.
2.b. the longer shackles would be used only on the front spings, which are not reversed.
2.c. I have considered the axle to frame contact and am intending to c-notch the frame.
I truly thank you for your input.

 

I finally figured out how to resize my photos.
