Does anybody have a example of what ball joint press kit I need to get to put my upper and lower ball joints on? I got my xrf ball joints in this afternoon. I was thinking to get the master kit from advanced. But I've heard some folks say that not all kids come with what you need for these trucks. Any advice?
I will say that using that press correctly, using the big Milwaukee 1/2" impact that is rated to 1,400 ft lbs torque is what I used to press the old ones out and the new ones in. Took about 5 seconds for each taking it out and putting in. Unbelievable how easy this entire job has been.

Powerbilt Kit 46 is what I use as well. On my last rental effort, I simply kept the kit and let my "rental price" pay for its non-return, and did so because it was a brand new and unused kit prior to my "rental", and at the time, the cost was much less than it is today and I also had three '02/'03 Superduty vehicles in my garage. It's really nice to not have to go to the store to rent, know that I have a solid kit, and it doesn't take up much room in my tool storage cabinet.
