Just buy yourself some Moog replacements and do it yourself. It is pretty
straightforward, provided you have a few tools.

Thanks for the replies. The lower ball joints on my 99 do have grease
fittings, not sure about the upper.

Two questions. Prety sure problemn is at the lower and I plan to keep the
truck
so, should I replace upper and lower now? Also, any comments on
suppliers/mfg
that I should avoid (like OEM) or try to locate?
