I just had the left side upper/lower ball joints replaced on my 3500, and it was $280.

Depends on how easy it all comes apart. I had about 12 hours into a wheel joint/ball joints replacement on my wife's 03. Everything was damn near siezed together and it turned into a real nightmare. The thing had a clean carfax when I bought it but I'm starting to wonder if it sat underwater somewhere for a while.

Expect $150-200 in parts for both ball joints. Labor will depend on the shop.
