For Moog ball joints and the upper control arm w/ ball joints check Orielly. Thats where I ordered my ball joints from. The lower ball joints were around $40 each and the control arm assemblies are about $100.
For swaybar links, Moog ones can be found on Rockauto.com or you can get the links for the 2008+ trucks which are more durable than the 05s from Mopar. Bushing sets for the swaybar need to be ordered at the dealer or a Mopar online store. I normally go through the Mopar Estore.
If youre looking at keeping the truck for a while (another 90k), I would throw new struts in there as well. The stock struts are the reason all the components wear out in front. An aftermarket strut will stiffen everything up and improve handleing. Struts arent the cheapest thing to do, but while you have everything apart up there its worth doing so you dont have to pay for another alignment and for them to take everything apart. And also, do the brakes if you havent yet. I think someone mentioned you can get OEM style rotors off Rockauto for $15 each.
