Question Need Ball Joints

I have a 99 F250 Super Duty Crew Cab 4x4 with V10. I need upper and lower ball joints for both sides. I would like to put greaseable ones in. My mechanic says he can't find any after market one for my weight rating. 8800 lbs. Can anybody tell me if there are any out there that are top quality. I only want to do this once. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Ford doesn't always have the best ideas!!!!!

Need Ball Joints

Some times if your careful, you can just put a self tapping grease zert in some ball joints and in tie rod ends. most of them have a thin metal back, maybe kick this idea around, or drill on an old one to see whats under it. Just try not to get any metal chips in there where you cant get them out!
