Whoa nelly!!!!! One box is designed to turn the pitman arm from left to right the other box turns the pitman arm from front to back. Installing a 2wd box on a 4x4 is what people do when they go to crossover steering conversion. Aside from that I am pretty sure it is a no go situation. Are you just trying to get fewer turns lock to lock or is your turning radius just to wide? I know some people have trouble turning after installing a lift and larger tires. Has your steering arm or draglink already been changed? I am pretty sure that there are steering boxes available that can cut down the lock to lock #s.
