The upper ball joints are actually a Chrysler style and boots from the Energy Suspension 5.13102G set includes new boots. They're only available in a set of four (upper and lower) but you only use the uppers. Fortunately not expensive. I've used these on every build. I've not tried to replace the lower boots since they're press fit into place and so far haven't needed to. I've seen where others have, but sorry I don't know the part number or details. BTW, if you need tie rod end boots, they're Energy Suspension 9.13101G.

They're not designed to squeeze over the base. They push against the taper on the ball joint. The poly material is much stiffer than the stock rubber boots. They work great, are the right ones, and a whole bunch of us have used them. Including me multiple times as I mentioned. Visible in this picture, including the tie rod end one that fits in a similar way.
