Default Ball Joints

I will be replacing my ball joints in my 87 shortly..so i was wondering what kind/brand do you guys prefer? Im running 33s so i would like something a little more beefy. Has anyone had any luck with the rebuildable ball joints?

Thanks a bunch!
Aaron

You can take some angle measurements of your "c's" and see if they're bent. That's what those are intended for. Take a look at you truck from the front and see if you can measure any camber. There should be none.
