Front End Rebuild Questions
Any recommendations for good quality wheel bearings? I'm looking for some heavy duty bearings that won't need to be replaced every 50K miles. I'm running after market wheels with more offset and bigger tires than stock. They are only 18 inch wheels and 305 tires, so I can't imagine them eating up my wheel bearings that fast, but.....
Also looking for some good recommendations for a front end overhaul - bushings, ball joints, etc. I plan on running this truck into the ground cause I'm sick of payments.
Any info/help would be greatly appreciated.

Use Moog everything. They are greasable. They are lifetime warranty. They are a VERY good chassis part. The only problem is they are pretty pricey no matter where you go.

Also, when doing the upper ball joints, Moog makes an adjustable one which is a great upgrade from the stock ones. It adds 1* positive caster I believe.

I went with Moog. Yep, they are expensive, but you'll only have to pay for them, once. As far as the adjustables, don't bother. Solid axle doesn't need them or use them. Toe in/out is the only adjustment that you can make once the joints are installed. Unless you really feel like pulling BJ's to trial & error your adjustments!
