I've removed and reinstalled them twice already and it was just as easy as the factory ones.

Looks like I got the best set of them in the world.

Good to hear your new set is working out for you, though. They definitely look to be a great-quality unit!
I take it you got the Corsport ones, which are obviously better quality than the ones I had picked up at a local shop.. I'm glad your happy with yours. I'm happy with mine and I just like the fact that they are greasable. It just makes them smoother.

I've built a few offroad truck 4 link suspensions in my day and Heim joints are always used for stiffness and strength, however they are known to transmit vibrations and aren't usually used in street driven setups, Ball joint style are used. Kinda like why the auto manufacturers all use Ball joints not Heim joints...
