I've heard of it, but it's for trucks with ALOT of lift. Think about it, makes it easier to open the doors insted of having to lift UP on the handle you pull DOWN on the handle.

It makes complete sense with ALOT of lift, I've just never heard of it :shrug:

I get the part about it being easier with a lift but i dont see how it would work cause when you lift the handle it pulls the rod lifting the latch, if you flip it it would push the rod down not releasing the latch, unless you switch the latches between the doors

I have no idea how it would work, but IIRC I saw it done on a truck in a show one time.

Pretty sure you'd have to flip it side for side too, because otherwise it'd be on the wrong side of the handle (front vs back) as well.
