Default Purchasing Ball Joints
I'm getting ready to buy a full set of ball joints for my big red dodge! Can anyone recommend the best/least expensive ball joints to buy?

Going by his sig, it's not a light duty, only the build sheet can give that info for sure. And maybe whether or not it has 5 lugs or 8 !

The fact it has 4:10's is also enough for me.(unless of course he changed the gears)

It's 8 lug and I'm not sure if it's heavy or light duty but the gears are stock and the limited slip is stock so would that lead you to believe it's HD? I woulld think so but not sure. I don't remember seeing anything that specifies that. Doesn't the second gen trucks have Dana 60 up front and Dana 80 in the rear?
Sure I could find that answer in another thread!
