    I don't have a bottle jack so I figure this would be more useful in the long run. I do have a bench vice also if needed. A few reviewers on Amazon for the Whiteline bushing say they used a C-clamp style ball joint tool. Luckily my truck does not have rust.

    Will this do the job? I'm good with engines but not much experience with ball joints and bushings. I need to change lower ball joints at the same time and ASAP, still on originals.

    They also have a 21 piece with more adapters.

    I also use it on U-joints. On the BJ’s, mine struggled, With the tool engaged, I had to use an air hammer to assist pressing out the BJ with the BJ on the car. I haven't tried it on the bushings. You should have a bottle jack in the truck.
