Default Time for new ball joints again!!Brand recommendation?

I changed out my ball joints 2 yrs ago and have recently noticed erratic driving and excessive outer tire wear,symptoms I had last time around.I don't remember the brand other than they were cheap and the uppers have grease fittings.I want to go with some that may last more than 2 yrs this time.I got happy when I remembered Carli suspension having a beefed up unit till I checked their web site again and saw they were for '03+.Any brand recommendations for extra durable?

Dynatrac just came out with the Prosteer heavy duty ball joint for our trucks. That'll be my next choice when the time comes.

MOOG seems to be the best for the price, but I'm going with the Dyna-Trac's next time around.

I remember reading about dynatrac joints I just haven't been able to find them for sale so I was assuming they weren't available yet.I think I heard they might be for sale this summer which might work for me,I just need to put my factory wheels and old tires back on so I don't trash my big tires with the premature tread wear.If anyone reading this knows of the exact date please post and I can make a decision one way or the other.
