having recently completed this swap I think you would be better off just buying some washers at advanced and keep your current ball joints. If yours are bad then get the MOOG brand 94/95 Balljoints pressed into your A-Arms.

Any other questions?

I chose the replacements for the fact that if somethign went wrong I could just take them back to the parts store and not have to ship anything back

Honestly I dont see how the X2 is so much better then a stock one. Maby i missing something, oh yeah it has steeda on it. I dont think anything the X2 does a bumpsteer kit cant do. So get the 94/95 replacments. Cheaper and easier to deal with.
