Same Ball Joints?

I need to replace the lower ball joints on my truck soon, and wanted to get the Moog "blue boot" problem solver joints from Napa Autoparts seen in the link below.

Napa Ball Joints

My question is, are those above the same as these below? It says on the site they'll fit, and in the pic they look the same. Anyone know for sure? Spending $20 less per joint would be fantastic.

I'm not sure either of those are Moog ball joints. The shop i work in orders all our parts from carquest and all the "house brand" ball joints we get have Moog printed on the box and stamped on the joint. When I did mine a few months ago I got mine from there and think I paid less then at Napa. But between those 2 options I would definitely spent the extra money on the Napa set.

Here is a link To rock auto for moogs that are cheaper than either link you gave.If you want them from here double check application catalog.

for what it's worth, very soon here i'll be upgrading the front suspension to a mid travel kit and don't wanna worry about a busted stock ball joint while offroading

any moog ball joint labled Problem Solver won't fit a 2wd IFS. They are made for 4x4 and the 2wd drives with Torsion bars only.
