good thing I work for nothing lol
John, do happen to know the measurements of the stock ball joint for the SS/TC? I found these universal replacements boots...

They explain where they need measurements taken from to spec the correct one.

Advise just did my ball joints for me ... He replaced the stock ones with a set of moogs... He said it was very time consuming but he did a hell of a job.

I have spade LNF control arms and I don't even feel they are worth drilling out.

I do not suggest drilling takes way too long you need a torch and a impact hammer with appropriate technique and bit.
