If you get it with the pitman arm still installed you should be fine. If you were rebiulding the box that would have to come off which is quite hard to do as its a tapered spline

Its best to get the steering box with the pit-man arm still on, otherwise you need to figure out the center point etc. usually you just remove the ball-joint at the end of the pit-man arm.
