If you split the bottom joint this is probably not necessary. My upper joint was easier to get to though.
I'm sure you are already aware, but be sure to put the truck on stands and keep a jack under the lower arm to slowly let it down once the ball joint is separated. There's a sh*t-ton of pressure trapped in that spring, and it will fly out of there and ruin your day (or life) if not handled correctly.
