I'll be replacing both sides.

I just replaced both my inners and outers. I stayed OEM for inners as everyone seemed to recommend that. I guess they handle everything better than aftermarket.
For the outers I went with MOOG, but their top end version. I guess MOOG now has three different styles of builds. Basically cheap, regular, and professional. That's not how they word it, but that's basically what they are. I ended up going with the professional one as I figured that would likely hold up best for off-roading.
The part number is Moog ES80895, and you can get it on Amazon with 2 day shipping if you have Prime. Make sure you keep the adjustment nut, as well as castle nut and get new cotter pins.
