Best Ball Joints?

Best Ball Joints?
Subject says it all, I'm noticing NAPA and the cheaper parts stores have pretty good deals on new ball joints. Are these things that should be sourced at the dealer and/or good options for a mildly lifted truck? Thanks!

You can get them from Summit at a decent price.

I've read some good things about NAPA's ball joints with the blue dust covers.They're made by Spicer and supposed to be very good.
They used to be the Fleet Series but I think they've changed to the Heavy Duty nameplate.

They've got good prices on that kind of stuff. That's where I get a majority of my replacement parts when I'm not getting them at the dealer.

places like carquest and auto value carry them.. best bet would be to just get out your phone book and call and ask if they carry there line..not sure of places like autozone. MOOG stands by there products 100 percent.. if you get them, hold them up to your old parts.. they look twice as beefy.. they have a patent on there socket joints for things like tie rod end and ball joints.. you may pay more for them.. but its worth it.. theyre twice as strong as dealer replacement parts.. and i doubt if after a year of trail riden a dealer would give you a free replacement idler arm after you prematurely wore out the old one.. like it says on the MOOG box..
