Will this kit be all I need to install X2 ball joints or is there something else I need? I also have air tools, will I need a pickle fork tool?

what purpose? for taking the ball joint off of the spindle assembly? or for actually gettin it off the a-arm?

edit:
when i did my suspension, i went to advanced auto, they had this kit (for rental):

i used the thing on the right (the long one)
i used that to pull the spindle off the a-arm.

this kit also has the item you saw on harbor freight it looks like. i would rent it, not buy it.

you should rent the pickle fork for your air hammer as well as the ball joint press tool. You will need both. I didn't have an air hammer so I had to torch the ball joints to get them out of the spindle. They pop right out of the a-arms with a press tool.

I tried but pepboys and autozone charges $130 to rent the the tools, even tho I get my money back when I return the items I find it rediculous so I would rather buy it that way I will have it when I need it. paintball good looking out on the pickle fork for the air hammer, I will look for that too.
