Are the link pins sway bar links? If they are you can get them from rock auto for about $20 each and it would take about a half hour to replace them if you include putting the front end on jack stands.

@reject, those are sensa-track. they add in load leveling just to market them better. you know, because adding longer names to a product make it that much easier to remember

link pins on a truck? never heard of that, sway bar links, yes. and i had to cut mine off with a cut off tool, they rust on pretty good.

also the lower shock mount bolt - easiest way to get it off if its rusted on is a air hammer, trusrt me i know alllllll about it. to bad my air compresser broke in the middle of the job

I replaced one sway bar link today, going to do the other after the kids are in bed. I put never seize on the new ones. I'm going to see if I can work the the shock bolts loose while I'm in there. The new shocks should be here tomorrow.
