    Not sure what an axle flip kit is.

    Budget? Form or function? What sized tires are you looking to fit? Does your lift budget include tires?

    Suggest researching lifts in “Forums”, “Suspension” and “Wheels and Tires”.

    I’m just wondering cause I know if you do an axle flip it raises the back end up don’t know if that’ll interfere with the lift if that makes any sense

    OP, how much lift are you trying to acheive by going the SOA route? There's no simple bolt on axle flip kit to go from SUA to SOA, it's a little more involved than that. If you are talking just flipping the rear axle, I don't think that is even a possibility.

    Pretty limited bolt on options for 5 luggers due to SUA especially if you are looking for a 3".

    So pretty much the only thing I can do is spacers in the front and add a leaf spring to the rear
