Lower balljoints

I started to do the ball joints on my 91.5 D250 the other day. Had to weld the top one in on the driver side cuz it kept popping out and the hole was a bit misshapen. Anyways, I bought lowers (pt#K7025) and they are too narrow. Can anyone who has a truck like mine fill me in on the correct pt #? I got the K7025 I ordered from the sticky so please dont advise me to look there. I need to hear from someone who has done this and knows the part # i need to get the old girl back on the road.
Thanks

K7053T for the lowers. i don't know where you found "K7025" but it's not in the sticky article i'm looking at. and a word of advice on the upper... if the ball joint "socket" in the control arm was misshapen, replace it. my passenger side was the same way when i rebuilt my front end. i replaced both the passenger and driver side upper control arms. i rebuilt the entire front end due to the passenger side upper ball joint popping out of the socket, all because the hole was oblong'd. i wasn't about to trust that any other original parts would last much longer. get those arms replaced ASAP.

here is a Moog parts list for the front end, the best suspension parts you can buy for our beasts. prices have nearly doubled since these were first posted.

1. K7055 Idler Arm $72.95
2. K7082 Upper Ball Joint $53.95 each
3. K7053T Lower B/J $52.95 each
4. K7079 Strut Rod Bushing kit $18.95
5. K7192 Lower CTRL Arm bush. $23.95 each
6. K7104 Upper CTRL Arm bush. $21.95 each
7. DS1173 Drag/Center link $74.95
8. ES3123L Inner Tie Rods $36.95 each
9. ES3122R Outer Tie Rods $29.95 each
10. ES3124s Adjusting Sleeves $ 9.95 each
11. K7226 Frnt HD Coil Sprgs $79.95 for the pair.
