"Awesome! Let me know how the ball joints and axle shafts go, I've had similar thoughts"
Ball joints are on my to-do list. I replaced front axle shafts with Chromoly axle shafts a year or two ago. It wasn't a hard job at all. I should have done ball joints at the same time since I had everything apart. Hardest part was putting the axle nut (36 mm?) back on since you have to wedge something against the axle so it won't spin while you tighten. Air impact made removal simple.
