Chris,
It's hard to be sure from your post, but I think what you may be asking is, "Do I need to get the front end sitting down where it needs to be before I mount the steering box?" If that's your question, my answer is yes, you need to consider your final ride height and steering arm to pitman arm geometry when you set the box location and orientation. It's important that the box be mounted both horizontally and vertically as parallel as possible to the tie rod connecting the two spindles to allow the cross-steer-style steering to work without binding. Here's a really good article on putting a Vega box on deuce rails - Selecting And Installing a Steering Gear - Rod And Custom Magazine

Sorry if I misunderstood your question.

Thank's guys for the info.
