Right, and I may very well go with the kit, but I won't likely have the truck after it's got 160K+ on it and it comes time to replace the rotors again. I keep lusting after the new F-250 Screws with that 6.7L diesel, lol.

Nice trucks, but my pockets aren't that deep

Just buy new rotors the bearings are already in them,To change the bearings there will be Press Work involved & it will likely cost the same money to do just the bearings,As far as removal remove the nut spray some PB Blaster in the bearing/spindle junction let it soak & whack the back of the rotor hard with a large hammer,The Nuts are not supposed to be reused buy new ones.

Oh, they're not too bad if you buy them a year or two old. Bigger toys will require the upgrade for me.

Sorry, OP. Not trying to derail the thread any.

If the rotors ever need replacing in the future it accepts standard 4WD rotors which are MUCH cheaper.

I have f 150 that shakes while braking, went to your link for parts and there are more choices than I thought which are the preferred upgrade kits? rotors, pads, pins and bearings does anyone package a complete kit?

went to the rockauto.com link you provided, more choices than I thought, I have 2003 xl, 4.2, manual, transportation for work, ( grading ), the shake has been getting progressively worse put new set of rugged terrains on a few weeks ago replacing the a. t. Ko's, rides a lot quieter and does just fine in the dirt, anyway I was curious as to which of the brands, and model rotors are preferred ? I know 54reg cab post is old but this thread seemed to fit my inquiry, any comments would be appreciated, and if there is a kit that would package rotors, pads, bearings and seals it would be nice

You are in the wrong forum if you have a 2003.
