Do you have coil springs in the front?

The answer to that will not be the same as the answer to your question.

 

[Heavyfire14]

yes i have coil springs.

Your truck has upper arms, but I think they are different from the T-bar ones.

 

[Heavyfire14]

aw, ok thanks!

 

[Heavyfire14]

do you have to replace the whole upper arm to replace the ball joint? (i know your gonna say yes but, i just have to ask) do you know the part number by any chance?

i tried to rep you but it wont let me... i musta just repped you last week i guess.

they appear similar, but definately are not interchangeable.
T bar arms are about 1/2" wider, that is they push the top of the steering knuckle out 1/2" farther. The stud on the ball joint is larger and won't fit into a coil spring type steering knuckle.
most coil spring type upper arms have a built in ball joint, the whole piece gets replaced.

u could try to fit 99 a arms on your truck(coil sprung of course) so u get replacable ball joints.

i have to give that ide a atry for when the 03 needs ball joint replacing.
also ill try to remove the ball joint and see if i can make a 99 one work in there.

im actually gonna replace it with a moog arm(s) because they allow you to replace the ball joint only, their 92 bux each on summit
