    Back in the day, I was told i could swap arms(left side to right) flip them upside down and this would lower the front due the bend in the a arm if anybody has heard of this or tried this please let me know?

    I'd say just do a balljoint flip (search here, there is an excellent right up on it)

    I suppose that flipping them might work, but would apply the weight the wrong way against the lower arms. The way they are formed, it might cause them to bow over time.

    I did the ball joint flip(way easy to do).Thanks for the heads up on the bowing issue.
