Default Steering assembly question.

When installing the sleeves and tie rod ends, i know that there is a left and right hand thread. looking at the boots on the tie rods, it looks as if the larger floppier boot which is on the left hand thread goes to the outer end and the more solid boot goes to the drag link in the inner? Is this correct? So i have the left hand threads on the outer and the right hand thread on the inner on both sides. I think my buddy said that this may be wrong the way i have it set up. Because if you go and buy a pass side inner tie rod end it has to be a certain thread correct?
