Idler / pitman arms

So I went in for a wheel balance and rotation yesterday as just getting the truck on the road for the season, word back from the tire place is idler and pitman worn at tie rods. Not surprised as most of those components appear to be original ish.

I've done lots of repairs on the truck and my motorcycles so not intimidated to take it on, question is how much of a job to replace those parts? Should I do tie rods and ball joints at the same time? Any tips? Special tools?

Thinking of ordering parts from LMC, anyone installed these before?

Oh and wheel bearings shot as well but that's pretty easy I think...

Thanks in advance for input and tips!
