Best source for updating all wear parts of the front suspension?

I'm looking to replace all the wear parts in my front suspension since I've got a good number of miles on my 2008 F-150 King Ranch. I think this is the list:

Ball joints
Tie Rods
Upper control arm bushings
Lower control arm bushings

Anything else? I've already replaced the struts with Ranchos.

The thing I don't know is what company sells good quality aftermarket front suspension parts? I would like to buy all the parts at once and know that I'm getting better than OEM durable parts. If someone knows the exact part numbers I want, that would be even better.

Thanks!

Rock auto and you can get the Moog "problem solver" set up. That's probably the least expensive place to find them.

Might want to add an idler arm also.

I absolutely second that. Rock auto has the best prices and moog problem solver are a great upgrade.

Thanks for the pointer. I went to Rockauto.com and looked under Ford F-150 Suspension, but didn't find the Moog Problem solver kit. Do you have a link to the part on their site or a part number I can search by? Thanks!

There aren't any kits. Moog is the brand. When you select suspension / component, it'll then give you a list of different brands. Moog is the recommended brand.

Example: this would be one of your upper control arms that has the ball joint included. https://www.rockauto.com/catalog/mor...id=508&jpid=12

You need to buy everything piece by piece.
