2wd Brake rotor to 4wd rotor kit

I ordered the conversion kit from Zeckhausen Racing to use the 4wd rotors on a 2wd. The kit I ordered came with the retro fit hub w/bearing, power slot rotors, and a new spindle nut. I picked up a set Wagner ceramic pads, I have to say this was a painless process, took a friend and myself all of 35 minutes to do both sides. I would recommend this to anyone with the 2wd truck. The truck stops better than it ever has.

Shipped it was a little over $500, so not anymore than buying the Power Slot rotors and the spindle nuts, but knowing the fact that when they warp again, it will only cost less than have the cost to replace them.

Hubs

Looks very interesting. From the looks of them, the bearings are replacable unlike the factory units; is that correct? I saw something like this posted recently but had not seem them. Let us know how they work after you've gotten a few miles on them.

The bearings look to be pressed in, so you should be able to replace them. Only had them on for two weeks, nice to press the brake pedal a little and not have vibration in the steering wheel.

The bearing on the 2wd is replaceable. I pressed mine out went to buy a new one and found out they are not released to be sold yet. Timken bearing claims they will be just not sure when. I can almost gaurantee the bearing in that 4wd conversion kit is the same exact bearing.
