Flipping the linkage shouldn't have anything to do with bottoming out. Ours is still flipped, and we're keeping it that way. It spends plenty of time in the air, the flipped linkage compensates for the 22" razr rear tires. It is an '01, I have heard you can't flip the '02's.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img]

I also run 22 inch Razr's, and have had my linkage flipped for over a year with no problems. I noticed the difference in handling right away because of the lower height, so I'm not going back.

Good luck,
Lorrin
