Unhappy Need to replace my ball joints

I need to replace the upper ball joints in my f-150 lariat 1997 flare side 5.4L 4x4. I have heard that Moog is the way to go but I'm uncertain if these are the right parts MOOG K8722T, MOOG K8724T. I don't want to order them and find out they are the wrong ones. and should I get the lower ball-joints done as well if i have to replace the uppers? https://www.thewrenchmonkey.ca/products/auto-parts/MOOG/K8695T/ the lowers are the same on each side?

Any Help would be awesome and hopefully I posted this in the right thread

Thanks.

RRegz.

I ordered the same stuff, look for my thread, title had ball joints in it. I had the same concern about what to order. I figured that if I will do the job, do the uppers and lowers. The nice thing about the moog uppers, is that everything is already pressed in. Make sure you have all the tools required if you will do the job yourself.

The lowers should be the same for each side, and those look like the correct uppers. Just to make sure call your local auto parts store and ask them for the part number for the moog uppers and just match the numbers.

To do the lowers your going to need to rent a ball joint press if you don't have one. And make sure you get an alignment after you do them. Especially if you do the uppers.
