That box looks like it is in the stock location. No extra holes drilled in the frame, stock mounting brackets, no frame plating, etc. Not all SAS turn out this way. It's common for set-ups using rears upfront, or people who move their front hangers forward. I agree with WT that the mechanics of how an axle works might save the guys rods under compression, but I wouldn't bet on it. I would probably still move the box forward, or atleast cycle the suspension to make sure it was going to be ok. This is also only an issue with using Highsteer. With normal crossover steering, the tirod sits under the leaf springs. If you are contacting your tierod and draglink with a standard style of crossover, placement of box is gonna be the least of your worries.
