So next thing to do to this 88 is front rotors. It is a 4x4 and has the one piece Hub. Anyone have any input? Or is there a writeup on how to do this?

There you go man. That will definitely help with getting the hub out. After you take off the last spindle nut, the rotor will slide right off, but BE CAREFUL because your wheel bearings might want to fall out. This is fine as long as it's falling onto a clean surface. Also, I'm assuming you already know how to jack up your truck, support it, take off the wheels, and remove the brake calipers???

Your new rotors won't have lugs. You have to press new ones in or press your old ones out and use those (personally I don't recommend that option, but I've seen guys do it with no problems later on).

Are you gonna replace your wheel bearings while you're in there or at least repack with new grease?

Lord, I hope I can handle jacking up the truck LOL.

Yes, I do plan on replacing the bearings as well while im in there. I've found a new hub/rotor assembly I'll be swapping out. Which comes with all new bearings already packed with grease. Figure if I'm in there I may as well do it right.
