Default Moog ball joints--Pressed or bolt-in?

I have a '99 Dodge Dakota 4WD 5.2L. I need new ball joints, and was thinking about ordering Moog from Rockauto parts. Does anyone know if these ball joints are pressed or bolt-in? Moog part #K7267 for the lower and #K7242 for the upper. Also, do I need to buy control arm bushings or anything else in particular to complete the job? I'm trying to save myself some money by buying the parts because I know they mark them up by way too much at most shops...I'd appreciate any advice I can get. Thank you.
