Default Replacing ball joints

Hello. I have a 2005 f150 xlt super cab 2wd rwd with 117k miles. I installed a rough country 2.5'' leveling kit and went to get an alignment and it turns out I need new front lower ball joints on both sides. I was quoted $350 for parts and labor plus another $80 to do the alignment. Just wondering if this is a good price or if I should do it myself. I can buy the ball joints from NAPA for $60 each and I can rent a ball joint press for $100. How hard is it to do? Is it worth it to save $100? Any help appreciated. thanks

Kevin

That sounds like a very reasonable price. 3hrs labor alone involved.
