    If you're doing all of that, i'd go with the OME kit and call it a day.

    This way you don't have to worry about sagging springs again (especially the rear), the rear OME shocks are longer to help with flex.

    Also, may want to try disconnecting the sway bar and going for a quick spin to see if that quiets up the clunking. The mounts & bushings are well known to cause noises on our vehicles... takes a few minutes to diagnose and they're cheap to replace if that is the cause.

    So we checked it out and it looks like just a lower ball joint on passenger side...

    Well you should get an alignment after replacing that balljoint... so why not get the lift and install it at the same time?

    You still have the "sagging" issue right? And you do eventually want to lift it? So while the suspension is broken down for the balljoint you might as well throw the lift on.
