Default Ball joint upgrade

I tend to have this theory that if I need to replace a part I should put something better than stock on it. So that being said I need 4 shiny new ball joints on my 95' 4x4 has anybody heard of some better than stock ball joints? I believe the uppers come with control arms so any upgrade there also. Any input would be appreciated

Your truck doesn't have control arms, it's twin traction beam. And yes, buy Moog.

The stock ball joints on my truck were nothing less than amazing. I replaced them at 170k based solely on appearance. They were rusted to hell and the boots were literally gone, but there was nothing wrong with them! My experience was probably extremely unique. Moog is definitely the cadillac of suspension components.

You guys are making it easy on me especially when Moog is stocked by advanced auto and aren't crazy over priced. Nice!
