Haha I was looking at these same arms. If you google the part numbers you can find the ball joints on Ebay or from a supplier like Bike Bandit, they aren't cheap.
 
Here are the part numbers if you want to shop around:
2) 1987 Warrior Ball Joints #1UY-23549-0000 (Not included in kit)
2) Suzuki LT Ball Joints #51220-19A01 (Not included in kit)
2) #52418-24500 (Not included in kit)
2)# 09103-14003 (Not included in kit)
 
do i need tie rod ends also or are they included?

by the looks of that pic above, you need tie rod ends, the stock/existing ones will work. they can be had anywhere................

New Set of 4 Yamaha Banshee 350 Tie Rod Ends End Blaster Raptor Warrior | eBay

btw...before you go buying blaster ball joints, another thing A/M a-arms let you do is run upper banshee ball joints and banshee spindles and hydro brakes will bolt right on, if you already don't have conversion spindles and hydro's ?

what would be the upper and lower #'s by chance?

The Warrior ball joints are the lower ones. Here is a link for illustration but I wouldn't buy them, I think you can get a set of new ones for ~$75

Yamaha YFM350 Warrior Ball Joint | eBay

The LT ball joints are for the uppers. Here is a link but again shop around and you might find a new set for $50

Suzuki Lt F250 LT230 Lt F4WD Steering Knuckle End | eBay

The last two numbers appear to be accessories for the LT ball joints and they are cheap I:I

52418-24500 STOPPER KNUCKLE $4.81

09103-14003 SUPERCEEDED BY 09103-14008 $4.81

Definitely post updates and pics, I would have bid up to $300 on that set if I didn't think it was going to piss off my better half :D

so the warrior joints for the lower fit the arms and blaster?and same for lt joints for the upper with the arms and fit the blasty?

That's what it looks like to me but I only did enough research to price out this swap. I'm guessing that Lonestar did this for a reason (stronger/more easily serviced ball joints?) and I would call them to clarify exactly what you will need.
 
here are both from lonestar on ebay.. i had to post pics i still dont know how to post links

ok i contacted lonestar today and they told me that they personaly do not sell the ball joints for the arms i bought #17-2111.. so i contacted through ebay atvgalaxy about the ball joints they have(the ones i posted)and all they tell me is that i need 4 of them and will not answer which ball joints i have posted will work..they look nothing like the suzuki ltf ones..im confused??any anyone chime in and clairfy? 8-|
 
i got all the parts in today and now im having a bit of trouble getting the warrior twist ball joint in all the way.im wondering if they "twist "all the way down? i got them to fit but as i turn twist more and more they become harder to move.i wonder if they go all the way in or not.anyone have the lonestar arms?
