Ok, I got my new springs today. Now it's time to do the work. It looks like I'm going to end up with Dana Spicer ball joints ($48 upper/$72 lower). Before I get started, any tips for a 2WD owner? I was going to use a splitter to remove the old joints and press the new ones on. I thought using the splitter would save some time??? Anything else I should be prepared for???

Sure did! New springs, ball joints and shocks ... just under six hours. Just got back from getting the alignment ... WOW! This is how a truck should feel!
