Default Ball joints/ lower control arms

Im about to put a rough country 6in lift on my truck, and im going to replace the ball joints and lower control arms at the same time. Im just wondering what brand to go with for those, that best runs with the rough country lift. thanks in advance!

I used Moog. Cant say much about them yet as I just installed this past week. I still have the uppers to do. I did the lowers and the tie rod ends.

You may want to check your tie rods as well while your at it.

I used all Moog parts on my front end two summers ago. Everything is great.

Just make sure you give them a pump of grease every oil change. Don't use seriviable parts if you don't plan on servicing them.

Yeah, that seems to be the general consensus as the best to go with!
