Mine is already mounted in the frame but I can take a gander at it when I get back out in the garage.

First thought would be that it will be too far outboard to get a good alignment on the steering arm on the axle.

Actually as I'm thinking it through the first problem would be the steering linkage between the pitman arm and the axle. It's designed with openings to mount the way it does. If you flip it around the opening on the pitman arm end will face outboard. You would need to install the pitman arm backwards to make it work. That might fix the alignment issue, but not sure if there would be enough throw or how you would install the arm backwards. I can barely get it on forward!

Maybe if you rotate the box so the mounting flange is against the outside of the frame with the shaft pointing down, though you would still have to modify the linkage.
