Brilliant write up. Just the right amount of info. Cheers to you kind sir.
I'd definitely say less work than a full lift kit install.
And those are some bad a$$ looking ball joints. I bet those ones won't fail for a LONG time.
Way better than paying the dealer to put new OE ones in. Yikes. You can buy top notch ball joints, the press kit, and still come out WAY ahead.

If I were you I would mail these tore-up-from-the-floor-up OE joints to Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne himself with a note: "This is why your company went bankrupt"

The lower ball joint has a boot.
My steering is tighter, no more wobble, solid.

instead of buying a ball joint svc kit, i went with the suggestion of dave at northridge to check auto zone because they rent tools, which i did not know!!
so i called them and lo and behold they have a 4wd ball joint svc kit for rental!!! it cost me $100 plus tax.. so total was 107. BEST PART... when i returned it i got every penny back!!!!
so not only did it work perfectly for me and was returned perfect, which baffled him because he said they usually come back trashed. i said well its prob from inproper use.. so anyway if anyone is going to do these, save the $$ for the kit and goto auto zone n rent it. unless u want to own it, in which case u can keep the rental unit, and they keep the $100.

But my kit also does u-joints. That will be next to fail.
