Grab a wheel and see if you can feel play north/south and east/west. I'd reckon you may notice some play east/west, if you do this won't help your situation.
Take a pic of the underside of your truck specifically the front and rear control arms so we can have a look.
What does it drive like, is the steering very vague?

I think you need to replace worn joints first rather than use an offset balljoint.
If you don't have adjustable arms, I'd also consider obtaining some of these too. The pic will help us determine what you have.

Still a bugger of a job in some ways, you'll need a suitable tool to do the job, they can be had for cheap off of ebay.
