New Balljoints??

Do you guys go ahead and change the balljoints when you have the front tore apart for lowering and bagging your trucks? I messed up and didn't really check mine before tearing it apart (bought it at the junkyard) and now I'm questioning whether or not I should go ahead and put all new balljoints in. Any thoughts or suggestions?

Thanks for the help.

Getting it all apart and cleaned is the hard part and you have that part done when you do the updates so replacing all the parts that wear is an easy step to ad and it gives you peace of mind that it is all good to go when done.

Why not when you have it torn down anyway. I got a set of Moog off ebay.
