D30 HD Ball Joints
need to replace at least the uppers. Can't decide if I should just get a good set of replacement ones from the parts store or spend the extra and get an actual set of heavy duty ones.

Want some solid advice.... do upper and lower while you are there. Also do the axle shaft u joints. You will have it all apart anyways. No sense in putting used wearable parts back on

I bought the Alloy-USA kit. They are awesome. I was going through a couple a year from the parts store (MOOG, Precision, Duralast, even Spicer). The Alloy ones have been awesome- Havent had to touch them other than to grease all 4.

The Spicers have held up very well for me and as already mentioned do both upper/lower and u-joints while its all apart, labor is the B*tch on these jobs.
