According to most of the guys and gals on here, the Carli ball joints are probably your best bet. They're not cheap, $800 for a full set, but if they last as long as they claim, it should be a good investment.
I'm getting mine installed now, at least I hope I am. As long as they can get the drivers side hub and bearing apart and off the truck. I guess the mechanic tried saving it but will end up destroying it to get it off. He said it's a fairly common problem on Dodges.

Regarding tre's I just had Thuren's HD tre installed on an '08.5 steering w/30K on it. Too many reports of the driver's side joint snapping for me. Very stout unit. Craig @ www.straptperformance.com shipped it promptly.

I vote for buying either of those good ones. I put in a brand new one on the passenger less than 40K ago, It came from O'Reiley's and had the warranty but it failed. Shame on me from buying such an important part from them. I finally replaced it yesterday. That mileage is in a year and a few months time. In that short of period I hate to be replacing them.
