Default 2500 Ball Joints

Hey Guys,

I have been searching on here but have not had much luck.

Is the a Do It Yourself on how to change the ball joints on a 2500 4x4.

I have a good amount of play (jacked up, put on jack stands, used long bar and watched the play)

Is there anything else I should check / replace if I am doing that much of a tear down?

Any specific tools I should need?


Thanks for the help!

You'll need a balljoint press and some calm nerves.
