It depends on the tools you have , if you have the rite tools its not to bad to do.
I have allways used Moog front end parts and thought they were the best, then I herd about XRF's, so I did a little reading about them and will probably use them next time I do some ball joints. The parts store I deal with stocks them, so I asked them to look at some and they did look real nice.

 

tools deffentaly aint the problem lol i got lots of thos and thanks for the info i cant make up my mind and gotta get all these parts in by the 1st so what parts store are you using? im trying to round everthing up KEEP STROKIN!!!!!

^^^^ Great link, i remember following that exact link on my 1st SuperDuty ball joint job, instructions were great....i also remember not having the OTC kit for the first ball joint job, made it alot harder! I've since got the OTC kit and the last three trucks I did were a breeze.

 

Air tools, blaster and a bfh are nice too.
