I'm finishing up my PS conversion, and I have seen plenty of write up and pics. But what is the best way to mount this box? I've seen straight across and slightly tilted down towards the front. Pics please

Mount it so that the input of the box comes directly in from the tube you welded in your crossmember... Did you cut a hole in your crossmember and sleeve it?

What size pipe did you sleeve it with? We use something ~3.125" and it pretty much dictates the orientation of the box... works great everytime.

So you pretty much go straight in. I fit my tube in and notched the crossmember and tube to get the box further in. I think I'm going to go straight in togive thesteering shaft u-joint some room. I just see alot of pics with the box tilted down and wondered if this is a proven method for some reason.
With the box mounted...
Dont sweat it. It is easy to drill the sleeved hole a bit off. Just set the box up with the spud shaft hitting it ctr so you can line it all up. Up/down a bit either way makes no real difference as your pittman arm and tie rods can make up any small difference. Straight it is best.
here is how i have mine attached.
