Trailing Arm Crossmember Brackets

So I'm currently doing a long to short bed conversion on my '70 C10 and while I have it apart, I want to get started on the suspension. I'm planning on lowering the truck 6-8 inches. I've seen the anti-squat brackets that relocate the trailing arm up on the crossmember. I'm curious if everything would clear if I removed the stock bracket and just flipped it upside down and bolting it in. Has anyone done this and does it work/clear?

Also if anyone has trailing arms they are trying to sell, one of mine is no bueno.

Thanks in advance.

Re: Trailing Arm Crossmember Brackets

Yep, it's been done. I'm planning to do it myself this winter as I convert my leaf springs to coil springs (and 6" drop). Just remove all the rivets, and bolt it back "upside down".

Here is a discussion on it:

There are probably other threads too, that's just the first one I found.
