Don't forget to get a alignment after replacing the ball joints. You are sure to knock the alignment out of wack when you replace the ball joints. If the alignment is way out the handling of you truck could be to the point of dangerous. If its not that bad your tires are still sure to get busted up so play it safe and get it done.
