There is limited room between the axle and the frame, so you loose most the suspension movement if you flip the axle on top the springs.
If you intend to continue using it as a truck you face some real challenges. If you intend to use it as a car with a pretty box out back look into a four-link setup with airbags and a c-notched frame.
Or you can Z the frame.
Lots of options, but without a better idea how you want to use the truck when its finished its hard to say which is your best bet.
