Thanks for visiting my site, and checking out my Trooper. The Ball joint flip provides several benefits:
1. Allows for additional extension travel
2. Allows you to "crank in" more torsion bar lift and retain sufficient extension travel
3. Addresses some alignment issues, but still requires a trip to the alignment
shop
I also installed lower profile extension bumpstops and spaced my shocks down slightly with all told yielded me an additional 23mm of extension travel.
Currently, I am only running 1" of torsion bar lift in the front, and 1.5" OME springs in the rear. Even with the small lift, the 285/75 tires fit fine, with no rubbing issues and full travel.
You can see some more pictures and video of my truck on my webpage here:1998 Trooper

I use my Trooper for extended expeditions into the southwestern US and Mexico. I would sure love to drive it in OZ!!! If any of you want to take an adventure in the US, let me know...
I hope the additional information was helpful.
