My tow vehicle is a 2000 Tacoma, which never came with a factory tow package. I assume that means the 4-flat was installed by a previous owner and they had to dig around under the dash to get it wired properly.
Also, the 4-flat wiring currently does *not* work - I know the trailer brake lights work because they did when I picked it up with a rental truck, but when I plug my Taco into it, no dice. No voltage coming out of the 4-flat either. So I'll have to dig around and troubleshoot the existing truck wiring to get it all sorted.

However, if you flip and turn it end for end, it will fix the toe in but reverses the caster. Camber on the other hand is created by a factory bend in the axle and will always be wrong if upside down. Moral of this story is if your axle is upside down, more than likely, the geometry is going to be wrong. IMHO If you need more height there are better methods, (new axle, bigger tires, springs on top, springs on top w/blocks? longer shackles etc.)

Except an axle flip isn't flipping the axle. With the Dexter kit you only switch where springs mount. Giving you either over slung or under slung.
