Along with my lift I just finished replacing my ball joints. While you are at it I would suggest that you do your front axle U-joints, mine we shot so I replaced them. Once you see how much of a PITA it is to get to them its worth the money just to replace them. You have to pull a large amount of the front end apart, its not difficult but if everything is corroded like mine was it takes some time. The one tool I found priceless is this guy:

Use it to press out your old ball joints and press in the new ones. Works great for U-Joints too. Let me know if you have questions, this job is still pretty fresh in my head.
