are you talking about flipping a shock? for the most part, it doenst really matter.... www.4crawler.com has some info on it, and says the ranchos are fine with the shocks being upside down

some shocks are flipped to clear suspension componts. If you have oil shocks some models  will fade faster cause the oil is supposed to be on the bottom. Gas shocks can be mounted in any direction.
