ball joints

I shopping for upper/lower ball joints 2005 f250 5.4 ext cab long bed 4x4, I'd like moog, rockauto only lists moog in the lowers, anyone have part numbers for both so I can call and see if they have both in moog?, they have uppers in the motorcraft brand, are they any good? good idea to mix brands? thanks!

I put Motorcraft uppers and Raybestos lowers, both greasable on my 04'. They work well together.

Some people re-use depends on what they look like after you pull them out..

No disrespect just experience....If I was into a front end that deep Id replace regardless of how they feel. Look into Spicer ball joints(if they are making them for your truck yet?). Superior to anything made except a custom BJ which are on the market as well. I use Spicer chassis components on all my vehicles with their grease. You get 2-3x the life out of them verses the others. And their made in USA
