Yeah and they will be absolute junk...I got premium ones so they last and don't have to do it again next year. Father in law just put a set on a dura max that were $600 a piece

I was helping but that price was just for the bearings, no labor fee...unless you have a good air compressor and a good air ratchet your not getting the bolts off of the wheel bearings

They will fit perfect and have the same bulb. They are the same ones I have and so do alot of other people. I retrofitted mine so they look a little different now, but I wouldn't worry about retrofits unless you are pretty serious about lighting performance. Here is what they look like before and after

I actually had to get them from Napa or I would have ordered them off the internet...it's crazy how much thicker the hub and everything is compared to the factory by getting higher dollar ones

Well hopefully those will last a long time. I wouldn't mind having some more substantial bearings.

The MOOG hubs are rebuildable though so if you ever have to change them again it's a $25 bearing compared to the price of a new hub. Although the moogs are very pricey

Moog also has AR lifetime warranty. I just redid my whole front end ball joints, tie Rods, and UCAs and I'm not worried at all about having my t bars at 24.25 inches because even if a ball joint goes it will be free for me to put a new one in

Are they really rebuildable? I put MOOG hubs on both sides a few months back.
