I hope you have an arbor press, Mike.  Otherwise, replacing BJs is a super-major PITA.

OTOH, with KPs you also need the arbor press to get the old bushings out and the new bushings in, and then have to ream the new ones over and over til you get the right fit.  Just more time consuming than BJs.

Auto parts stores have BJ tools you can rent, for free. I got a tool from oreilly's.  I ended up not using it because I was going to replace the ball joint when I did my aborted front disc brake upgrade, but I have no reason to believe it wouldn't, based on the YouTube videos I watched of the process.
