Replacing Upper and Lower Ball Joint Boots

[PNJSNAK]

Need some help here.
It has been 9 years and 15k miles on my front suspension upper and lower ball joint boots supplied by A & C. I ordered the rolling chassis, so they came assembled.
The uppers are distorted and cracked, they need replacement. There is a metal flat ring that is even bent in the uppers.
I have never installed or replaced ball joints in any of my cars I've owned.
I have asked Joe T and he said they use '76 Chrysler Lebaron threaded ball joints.
I have purchased the Energy Suspension dust boots #5-13102R from Summit #ENS-5-13102R. The box comes with (2) ea. of two different pieces. I suspect one design is for upper and the other is the lower. there is no metal flat rings, so do I reuse the ones that are on the car.
Okay, now what? I have the ball joint tool to seperate the taper of the ball joint from the spindle joint. I am hoping the ball joints themselves are fine, but I will give them a visual inspection once I have the boot off and clean things.
Also, I was wondering if I shouldn't also replave the Tie Rod ball joint boot as well. What tie rod comes with the A & C cobra?
I can mechanically do the change, but need some help with directions.
Looking at the ENS red polyurethane dust boot and the one that is currently on the car, it just doesn't look right.
Help!!!
