Why did this tierod hit the shock?

I just bought the procomp kit, and found this picture in someone's gallery. Anyone know why this would happen? Is it something to worry about?

That is weird. I have no idea. First thing I want to say it something was installed wrong or left out.

i agree with wandell, its as if something is missing from the kit
did you install this kit yourself? buy it used? or from someone?
never have personally worked with a procomp so i dont know, but ill ask around & tell ya what i hear

This is just a picture I found in BlkButy's gallery on this site. Its not my truck. I was just wondering about it cause I bought a procomp, I haven't installed it yet, cause I'm going to get a 4x4 first. But I was just wondering if anyone had this problem or had heard of it.

It doesn't appear that the tie rod is rubbing, it looks like it's just the boot. There could be some variation in the length of the rubber boot, or there could be other issues. At any rate, I would contact the lift manufacturer and describe the problem to see if maybe they've encountered it before.
