Obviously I don't have the same lift, but the upper ball joints were not bad at all. The lowers are the ones I dread doing. And yes, it is very fun to use an angle grinder

Oh LoL! The lowers I got out with a small sledge, it only took like 2 whacks on each one and they both just popped right out. Although putting in the new ones was a bit more time consuming. I borrowed a ball joint press from Autozone and made somewhat easy work of it though.
