4x4 or 2-wheel drive? It is easier to replace the control arm with the bushings. You will need to release the taper joint; this guide can help:

Here are instructions once the arm is out to replace the ball joints, you may be able to switch them out while the arm is in the truck. Check out the images (below). Please upload pictures or videos in your response of any problems.
