That will in no way tell you if the lower ball joints are in good shape. They support the weight of the truck in tension when the truck is on the ground, and even off the ground, they will be under decent tension due to the bushings, swaybars, etc.
The service manual procedure includes a pry bar and a dial indicator... Less than 0.5mm/0.0020" of play is allowed in the lower ball joint.
