Front End mechnic recommendations

[WKH2213]

Looks like the Dodge needs ball joints.
Looking for recommendations for a quality shop that can do this.
I can provide the parts. I would attempt this myself, but don't have the tools here or the place to do it. Truck is a Dodge 2500 quad cab 5.9l Cummins 4x4
Thanks

Champion Spring on Henderson in Ft Worth. Not the cheapest but it will be right when you get it back. They did the front end on my Z71 and it drives like a totally different truck.

A word of advice. Don't use Moog ball joints on these particular trucks. Not bashing Moog. They make great stuff usually, but they often have issues with the ball joints on the 2500 and 3500 Dodge diesels. The ball joints for these trucks are designed differently than others. They are designed to have about 5/16" end play unlike others that have none. I did a lot of research when I did my ball joints and I wound up going with the XRF brand. I did not like the fact that they were foreign made but they have worked great for the last 150,000 miles. They were pretty reasonably priced too. I looked at the Dynatrac and Carli ball joints but they were outrageously expensive(over $1200 for the Carli). You can order the XRF's at 877-674-4030. It does take a large C-press to press out the ball joints. OTC tools makes a special press just for these large ball joints.
