tie rod install ?
 
hi i was gonna get the fabtech heavy duty tie rods. i was wondering if that was a easy install ? or would it be better to take it somewhere and have it done? also i guess you should get a alignment after you get them ? thanks!

From what I understand, it is more work jacking it up and taking off the tires. But you need at least a 2 inch cresent type of wrench for the nut on the center link side.

I would get an Alignment.;)

I paid the local offroad shop $90 to install the tierods and the steering stabilizer. I thought that was a great deal and the only effort it required from me was reaching for my wallet.
