I my friend charged me $250 to install them (uppers and lowers - both sides), plus all four shocks. Not bad at all. He has power tools and the correct tools to do it, and the know how.
The parts came out to around $300 I think. That was for the ball joints, and the axle seals (not counting the shocks). The shocks were another $260. Plus a $65 dollar alignment afterwards (I had to road force balance all my wheels, plus the alignment).
Right now, I need to fix my steering box, as I have very loose steering. That's another $200 for the part, and I'm sure I'll pay the labor for that, as I only have basic tools, and my truck won't fit in my garage (it's getting too cold outside to work on anything).
It sucks, because if I don't fix the steering, I'll end up getting a new set of tires soon.

You can always tigten the linkage on the box a bit and try it out.
if you go to much though, you'll bind up when you turn the wheel all the way.

I can move the wheel about 2 inches and it won't turn the tires.
