front end repairs

I took my 2000 Ram 3500 dually in for a transmission leak and the shop came back saying the transmission was fine, but the front end was in need of some drastic repairs to the tune of $3,869.00. They said hauling the 11.5 Arctic Fox around puts extra stress on the front end. (I had replaced both front sheel bearing assemblies to the tune of $500.00 each previously) The guy in the shop says the ball joints are shot as well as the front brakes and a few other things. Ha anyone else had extensive repairs to the front end? If so how much did it cost them?
