Mixing ball joints from 4wd on a 2wd

[WonderTruck92]

I hope someone can help me. I have a 1992 Ranger 2WD 2.3L 4cyl and I believe it has a Dana 35 axle (pinch bolt). I am in the process of replacing nearly everything on my front suspension. I ordered new ball joints but I inadvertantly purchased the 4wd MOOG model numbers from Rock Auto instead of the 2wd. Will these 4wd ball joints cause any problems on my 2wd truck? The lowers look identical to what was on the truck previously. The uppers are taller with a small snap ring groove but the diameter is the same. When I installed the upper, the knuckle is too thick to allow for the small snap ring to be installed. The bottom larger snap ring fits fine just like the orginal. The lowers installed indentical to the previous ones.

Also I had a grease fitting break off on one of the upper ball joints so I went to O'Reilly's and purchased a new MOOG upper but it is is the 2wd model number. What problems could I encouter if I use a 2wd upper ball joint on the drivers side and a 4wd upper ball joint on the passenger side?

Thank you.

I got a response on the urgent thread.

I am keeping the mix of ball joints since I completed all the work. Since I don't drive the truck every day I am trusting the feedback and don't think I will have any issues.
