The only negative is it can't be done if you are talking about turning the pitman arm upside down on the gearbox. The splines are tapered where it bolts to the steering gearbox so it will not slide on upside down.

i have done this ,trying to get the correct angles also .,. and the splines were tapered on the box shaft , not on the arm itself , only hang up might be the clocking of it , but if you grind out the 4 set splines , i think you can do it , then bore the socket for the drag link out , as it will now be up side down .
