'85 crossover steering help

I have a '85 truck that currently has the stock steering and no lift. I have all of the parts for the crossover steering conversion, but when I hold the parts about where they should go, it doesn't seem like they will fit. Do I need a lift in order to put the crossover on? any help would be greatly appreciated.
