I need your opinion

I have a 2000 eddie bauer, 190K miles, and in need of several repairs.
1. New ball joints on drivers side. Are these easy to replace? Should I do both sides while I'm at it?
2. New rear shocks. I have the tow package, so these shocks have the air bags. Mine are rusted out and do not work. These are not cheap. Can I replace these with regular shocks since I do not tow anything?
3. Need new front brakes and rotors. How hard are these to replace?

Is it worth spending the money to replace these items or should I sell it?

Its a little hard to advise you on what to do. A few questions that might help are what is the overall condition of the truck? What engine do you have? Has the engine or transmission ever had any major work and are both of them in good running order? Plus do you like your truck enough to keep longer or are you ready to throw in the towel and move on to another vehicle.

1. Ball joints arent to bad to replace but it depends on your skill.
2. I dont have an answer for this.
3. These are very easy to replace but once again it depends on your skill level. Theres a great "how to" on the forums for changing break pads which could help you.
