Hmmmm I take it they aren't the same ball joints as far as brandd goes? Id try and match them first and if they are the same maybe the new one is just really stiff? Id pie cut the uppers anyway...

When mine were done we cut the pie out of the side and the made a light cut on top..then put them back on the truck and layed it out.....then welded and plated thenn in.

when you lay it out the naturally bend where you want them? how much material did you "pie" out
