I would just stay away from the red truck and keep looking.
Steering heims will see less wear than main suspension component heims. Every bump, turn, shudder, and accel/decel cycle will actuate and load/unload the heim leading to faster wear. No question higher quality and rebuildable heims will last longer, but heims in general will be much more of a headache on a daily driven truck than regular old leafs.
