What about all the 4wd's (Series Land Rovers, Suzuki Sj's etc) and all RWD Escorts, Capri's, Mk1/2 Cortina's, Anglia's that run spring under axle. They don't fall off the road and kill people.
I think an axle flip locating the spring under the axle as a posed to over will be safe. If in any doubt use stronger tempered u bolts and nuts.
