Hey folks, so I know the consensus is to replace them, and I'm going to get this done this Spring once she comes out from her winter slumber.
Perusing several threads here, a few things seem to gel.
Go OEM, not aftermarket.
Replace the bolts, don't reuse the old ones, (I'm unclear on this here) 4 on the lower, another 4 on the upper, or 4 total?
Questions.
- Is there any value in a "high performance" upper that's greaseable, such as this one I found? Or still go OEM?

- Do the bolts come with each kit, or are they a separate order item, and some folks just don't bother to use them?
Putting on some new wheels and 32's, so getting a bit of lift work done too, unsure if that'll be just spacers, or whole new parts, so it seemed like a good time to get the joints done.
1996, V6 SR5, 139K, 4WD, no real off road use/abuse, for what that may matter.
Thanks all!
