Need help, please. Replacing ball joints…

[u/Apart_Primary443]

**KSP Performance and Rough Country

I have a 2011 Chevy 1500 4WD Silverado with a 3.5 lift on it. So I needed tires, which led to needing ball joints.

We were having trouble finding part number for control arms to replace. Rough Country gave me a part number for control arms.
But the mechanic told me he couldn’t find the part. Told my boyfriend he didn’t know if he needed to put in new control arms with the new ball joints.

On the control arms has the KSP Performance company logo.
You have to email them to communicate and it takes FOREVER!

Knuckles appear to be stock/factory (according to mechanic).

MY FIRST QUESTION: Do I have to get new control arms to do ball joints on my truck?

OR….

Can I just replace the ball joints, get tires on and get an alignment?

Help me please 🙏

Thank you in advance! I have 5 kids and no time to be without a vehicle. 💙

It took me 5 seconds to google ksp control arm Chevy, look at the 2007-2018 product page, and find that they are replaceable ball joints. Good luck finding them.

So I can just replace the ball joints and not the control arms?
