The box, pitman, & idler all remained in the stock positions. I've done the multiple combo u-joints/shaft on one & standard shafts on others w/the upper 63-72 drivers side a-arm c-notched for clearance. My dually has a standard straight shaft w/the a-arm notched.

I've got one that is sectioned 2" but set it aside because I thought I would have to raise the steering box and mess with the idler arm.

Do you think I'd be okay with the 2" section and leaving the steering components in the stock location.

I know others have done the 2" amount. I've felt that a 1.5" sectioning is pushing things & never ventured beyond. If doing 2", I would personally switch to an aftermarket R&P or raise the steering box, idler, & notch the lower frame rail as needed for tie-rod clearance. This is what I would do if I had the tools for the job & was watching the budget:
