    Got my coach builder tie rods arriving today. Any experience with installing these tie rods yourself? Really don't want to pay 400 dollars worth of labor for something I may be able to do on my own.

    Too many, but not enough....
    Installing tie rods is pretty basic for the most part. You would obviously need an alignment after.

    Very simple - I see you have the same BDS lift I do. You have to drill out the BDS spindle hole with the supplied drill bit so it is straight and not tapered for factory tie rod ends. Call David if needed, he is extremely helpful and responsive from my experience. Run a string line from the rear tire edge to the front tire edge if you want to attempt to get the toe close before taking it to an alignment shop and tell them not to touch the adjuster nut on the end links but adjust from the inner tie rod.
