Hell, even if you buy the OEM bushings and do the press work yourself, you really aren't saving all that much.
I know that OEM is always better but I can't justify a grand more right now. Is there any other compromise that people have tried? Searched for non OEM brands like Moog etc, and they are charging as much as OEM.. Maybe buying the D.A. and replacing the ball joint boots with OEM or something?

I just installed LCAs & front sway bar links from 1A Auto. Prices are reasonable, shipping is fast & free, & parts look beefy. They also have great installation videos on YT.
BTW, I have my OEM UCAs that I had for about 150K. I only replaced them b/c I bought some Tacoma coilovers that came with UCAs. You can have them for the cost of shipping and run them as is or replace the bushings & ball joints. Same for the LCAs I just took off at 236K but they definitely need new bushings.
