What do you mean by "flipped the ball joints"?

I have been reading about ball joint flips on "Expedition West" and it stated that doing the flip will help with additional travel after a Torsion Bar lift and it will also help with alignment. The concern seems to be that this will encourage Rack damage. My question is could I just beef up the droop snubbers and then do the ball joint flip on the UCA so that I can get better alignment?
Thanks!

What do you mean by "flipped the ball joints"? Meaning move the upper balljoint from its mounting spot above the upeer a-arm to below the upper a-arm. It helps with correcting lifted wheel camber (alignment).

Thanks! You don't get any more travel, ok maybe an insignificant amount. I would try to get it aligned first and see if they can get camber specs to normal versus try this just incase because some people have damaged thier rack+p steering from this. If it is still way off then explore options.
