Most likely you would have a bit of bump steer. Can you heat and bend the stock steering arm up just enough to get clearance? It may only take moving it a half inch or so along with repositioning the adjustment sleeve so that the bolts are at the top and out of the way. I'd have to go look under my truck but I believe that on a stock steering the end of the drag link is on top of the steering arm rather than below it. I think that may be your real problem that was created in an attempt to get the drag link level.
