Lower arm install question

Need new bushings for the lower front arms and having my usual shop do the work but was wondering...would it make sense/save time to install new balljoints too? In the process of selling/buying a new house so money is tight and no garage space to do any work myself. Would adding new ball joints add complexity/time/money to the job? THX!

It's only an extra 8 bolts, and maybe 10 minutes. They already have to remove the castle nut, and cotter pin from the lower control arm to remove it. Go with OEM on the LBJ's, and nothing else.

Based on the fact that your location is the "Frozen Tundra" you might have frozen cam bolts. Those are a beach to remove, and you'll need to replace them if that's the case.
