Flipping bottom leaf spring?
Flipping the bottom leaf spring, is this good? I recently bought a lifted toyota, and the bottom leaf springs are flipped upside. Now I've heard this is good in lowered trucks with traction issues to increase traction. I'm not sure if this is true or not. But is this good for a lifted truck? It looks like it might be taking away from lift some.
Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Lowered, yes it is good because it takes away from the curvature of the spring pack thereby letting it sag a little.
Lifted, not good, flip it back around.

the bottom springs aren't fliped, it came like that from TRD man. Also just so you know it rides rough because it has add a leafs in the rear. It never rode that rough before the extra leaf was put on it.
