I managed to get everything swapped out and back together. Things were stuck pretty firm, but luckily I didn't need much more than a breaker bar on the wrench. Thanks for all the help
Josh - Not sure about your truck, but with the independent suspension, I found I did have to remove the upper ball joint from the knuckle, but I did not have to remove the tie rod end. There is not enough clearance to access the bolts even with the wheel turned. The end of the half shaft takes up too much space in the knuckle.
That's odd, I never had to pop mine. Mine is obviously a 4x4 as well. I'll take some pics and we'll compare notes ;-)
