Default Ball Joints

Coming up on 80k on my 2007 JKU. Inspector said it's getting time to replace ball joints. Any recommendations? Should I go with OEM or an aftermarket? I am running 33's right now, but I may go to 35's in the future. Also any good ideas for brake pads?

just check out northridge 4x4, they list a couple of options for ball joints. the prosteers are the best, but they're also double anything else out there. the fact that you can rebuild them without taking them off is awesome though, certainly makes them easy to keep for the lifetime of the jeep (and then some!)
