Just got done taking off my strut assembly on my 84 4kq to get a new wheel bearing pressed into it... and in the midst while using the pickle forks, I tore the boots on the tie rod and the bottom of the strut assembly where it attachs to the control arm. Just small tears... just do I need to replace these? And while I am under there is it really that big of a deal to put new tie rods in? Would it make a large difference? And anyone know where I could buy a new boot?

Since everything is apart Id just replace them, as well as the ball joints. It depends though if you have another car to tote around in. You could leave them, then replace them soon thereafter.
