Default 2000 F150 4x4 ball joints

I've been told for the last 6-9 months my ball joints are almost gone. Tax season has come so now is the time

How labor intensive is it?
Will I need to do all 4 or just 2?
Can I trust a company like Tire Kingdom?

Thanks,
Catfish John

The upper balljoints are easy and so are the lowers, but if youre not as mechanically inclined as others or have the tools it might be best to let a shop do it. There are a bunch if vids on youtube if you want to see the process and the tools youll need.

Default Cool thanks

If the uppers are shot, does that mean the lowers are as well and should I get them all done at the same time?

Thanks again!

On my '99 3 of 4 were bad. Had them all done because alignment is needed for 1 or 4. Only had 70K.
