I went in the get my truck re-aligned today and they told me i need new upper ball joints and a trac bar before they can align it. My questions are i looked around and moog seems to be the way to go on the ball joints but what about the trac bar ? also ive heard people say the install is easy but i got too looking around and it looks a little difficult, so how bad is it really ? Also should i just get a normal trac bar or would i need an ajustable since i have a 2'' spacer ontop of the offroad kit now ?

Not sure on the spacer, but Moog makes a trac bar that is supposed to be decent.

if you do any kind of offroading id sugest the thuren track bar. You'll never replace one again. http://thurenfabrication.com/stocktb.html

You can use a MOOG or any other stock trac bar with only 2 inches of lift.But the Thuren is pretty nice.

Rock Auto, And why don't you call your local parts stores, as most of them sell MOOG.
