4X2 or 4X4? 2 wheel drive will come with races installed, 4 wheel drive you use your "old" hub.

On my 1992, and 1994 trucks, they did indeed come pre-installed....

But when you buy the bearings, they come with races... lol

Installing them isn't the real issue, the issue is getting the old bearing races out... You can check the link in my signature for a write up that covers rotor remotion amongst other things.
