I took it in to a Ford dealership to get a second opinion. They told me to keep my $1100.00 because the ball joints were fine.
Now here is my question they told me running a lifted truck with big tires I should put 60psi in each tire but the tires are only rated for 50 psi max. Anyone out there know if this is true / safe?
By the way the dual stabilizer stopped the "DEATH WOBBLE"
Thanks for everyones input

I would not listen to somebody who does not even know what your max tire rating is.
The way i set my pressures is to use kids chalk and drive on the tire until the chalk wears even along the whole width of the tire.
for me that means 38 - 40 up front and 32 in the (unloaded) rear
good luck
(edit) oh and if that 4 wheel drive place quoted you for ball joints that is a huge labor job and they make good money on it, especially if they are not really bad... heres how to tell and how i did mine:
