New Truck ball joint mystery

So I picked up a 2000 that has some obvious upgrades. trying to figure out what the previous owner did with the ball joints here and where I can get replacement parts since they are obviously not stock.

Those are SPC upper control arms with their proprietary upper ball joints. You can get replacement ball joints from Wheeler's, Amazon, etc. I've got a set on mine and really like them, but order two sets of replacement UBJs - one to install, and one to keep as spares. The lead time to get them is a few days at least, and if you need a set, you're stuck until they show up.

You are the man. Much thanks brother. I knew I could count on this forum.

I see some extended length joints as well. Wondering if they would make sense? I have a 3 inch lift and a 2 inch body lift. I do alot of off road travel as I live in the 4WD area of the Outer Banks.

Extended ball joints. They have a set with an extended stem. I don't suppose I need to get into all that. The only thing I'm having trouble with is the part number. Nothing on the part itself. I see a 25001 and a 25002 that look identical except for the new grease fitting.

25002 doesn't fit the 25460 arms.

OK so then I'm guessing I must have the 25460 arms and that we're ta;king about the 25001s?
