the term ball joint flip isnt exactly correct
All it is is unbolt the top ball joint including the taper. Remove. Now the fun part. You will see that it was bolted on in such a way that the taper was through the hole in the A arm. Place the joint under the arm with the taper still pointing down and bolt in place. This does 2 things. First it changes the angle of the A arm allowing more travel Second it effectivly lengthens the A arm. This is nessecsary on the Isuzu as the shim adjustment for camber are behind the bracket and to re align after a left you have to remove shims. At about 50mm you run out and may find it impossible to set camber without this mod.
Sanding your knuckles before starting work can help. That way you cant skin them
