I'm not sure xrf are any better, I did instal some in another couriors truck, and they only lasted about a yr. mind you it was a 3rd gen truck, I had moog in mine when I bought it (as told by the previous owner) I put approx 150,000kms on them in 2,5yrs of intown courior work, when I replaced them they only had up/down play. and enough to cause the axel seals to leak.
I put in spicers this time cant say at this point if they are any better or not, except that I dont like the posn of the lower BJ grease zerk, its in the center of the BJ and you need a low profile angle grease zerk to be able to lub them, so until I get some I have the plugs in there.
I installed XRF in my old chev(1998) truck that was used for courior work as well and they lasted about 7-8months, but then again chev trucks ball joints fail just like dodge LP's
my two cents based on my experiences

T&T Parts, Chilliwack has the ball joints but are not set up to ship them.
Needless to say here in the land of charge double and have nothing in stock Alberta I have yet to be able to find a set of these XRFs.
