Moog ball joints from Rock Auto?

Looking to replace all my ball joints on my 03 3500 dually with 85,000 miles on it. Does anyone have the part numbers I will need to order them from RockAuto.com. I definetly want greasable ones. Secondly, are the ones from there want I need on a truck with no lift, when it comes to the adjustment of them. Thanks.

k7448 and k7467. both lower and uppers are greaseable. the uppers are also adjustable which helps with alignment.

Do the lowers not need to be adjustable, sorry for the stupid questions but my first experience with ball joints. Also, who is the best choice when it comes to the u-joints on the axle shafts, again definetly greasable.

From what I can tell the Moog's are no better than the oems. The basic design of the upper "ball joint" (actually a captured king pin) is weak. There are some aftermarket HD units being developed but not for sale yet. I thought the ACDELCO might be better but I don't know if anyone has any experience with them yet.

moog lowers are not adjustable- my moogs have over 30,000 miles on them-still as tight as day one. they are much better than the oem ones.

I did mine with precision joints I got at Napa no problems since keepin them greased will make them last considerably longer than the stock ones.

Does anyone have a website I can go to get a good set of instructions with pictures to remove the ball joints, rotors, and the hub assembly.
