I dunno how bad you had to dent yours in to fit but when I put them on my car I had to flaten the pipe that goes around the steering box pretty good because I have powersteering.
Actually, I didn't have to flatten any of the pipes. My major issue is getting the bolts on the inside of the outer clinders in. There is not enough room for my bolt heads. I think I'll use a C-clamp to flatten them there enough to get the bolts in.
