How these look?

Lol. What am I looking at here? Is pics 1 and 2 lower ball joints and 3 and 4 upper? Any of this need replaced? (I'm sure 1 and 2 does) Let me know your insight here I am just learning this stuff. Is this something I can do with a jack and jack stand? Any and all insight welcome......

I would replace all 6. Might as well while you're in there, you'll need to replace the whole upper control arm and get an alignment after you're done, hence why I say to replace the tie rods too. It's a fairly easy job there's videos and other threads about it all over, I think ChrisFix has one on YouTube. Just make sure you either buy or rent a ball joint press before hand, as long as you have a basic socket and wrench set you'll be good to go. Just a one day job is all, good luck!
