No flipping the axle dose not mean mounting it upside down. It means flipping positions with the spring.
A vast majority of trailers are built with the axle above the spring, the easiest and least expensive way to gain ground clearance is to position it below the spring. Etrailer even makes a no weld kit for doing this. The only other safe method is to mount new spring mounts to the frame or building a subframe to lower the spring mounts. Never use blocks between the spring and axle, it will cause excess tire ware and a pothole has the potential to misalign the axle more easily.
