PMS Bingeing

Ok so I've about tapped out my wallet I bought my excursion about a month ago and put an aftermarket intake, superchips tuner, 2" lift, 35" BFGs, offroad lights in the grill, new power steering pump all new hoses, brakes , gauges, wicked wheel (THANKS CLAY!) tinted the windows and it looks like my binge has to come to an end. Now I still have to replace the ball joints and Im wondering if I should shell out the cash for someone to do it. Or save myself some money and do it myself. I've gotten as far as changing out the front hubs on my 99 f250. With that in mind do you guys think this is something I should tackle?

PS- Any free mod suggestions CCV and others that im not aware of would be GREAT!

If you think it is unsafe to drive then park it. If it's safe another week isn't going to make it much worse. Just don't go rock crawling.
