If your ride is a 4X4 I recommend Timken hubs. There is a ton of info on how to replace the hubs right on the forum. I'd plan to do your front axle U joints while you have the hubs out. No sense doing the labor twice!
Remember to clean out the hub recess with a good wire brush and slap on the anti-seize before you replace the hubs. A little lube makes them slide right in and out again if you have to remove them. Check the upper and lower BJs while you're in there. But if you have to choose ($$$) do the U joints!
I got all my stuff online. Timken, XRF, Spicer are quality made parts.
Don't forget to loosen BOTH front axle nuts BEFORE you jack up and be sure to retorque both nuts with the wheels on the ground.
