I finaly got around to installing my set today.All I can say is they are soo easy to install.I was also worried about clearance issues with the rancho 9000 which I also installed today , both compliments of matt <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />. Anyway , I installed them , all in about a half hour for both sides.Of course this is with nothing there to begin with <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

The drivers side was the closer to the shock of the 2 by about 1/4" , but still not even close to touching at full steering.Here are some pics of each side , and you can kind of see the clearance.So , for any of you first gen trooper owners thinking of getting the tie rods and have or getting rancho 9000 shocks , go for it , not a problem <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />
