If you are going for the best price use the one you found. The shielded one cost almost 2.5X the price.

Replace your ball joints and the upper joint bushing/eccentric, if you want to adjust camber, and replace the axle u-joints and every thing you want to rebuild while you are in there so you will not have to replace the knuckle seals again just to go in again.

2 F81Z3254CB Vacuum Hub Seals

2 F81Z1S175HCA AXLE DUST SEALS

There are seals on both sides of the axle u-joints.

You need to look at a service manual.

The seal I found on Amazon "will" work? You mentioned it was the wrong one a post or so back.

It is not the same one as on your truck from the factory and not as durable but it will fit and save a lot of money.

Smile research yourown OEM parts

I use
Official Ford Parts Site | Buy Motorcraft & OEM Ford Parts Online | FordParts.com
which allows me to search for parts using vin number.

Also,I use amazon.com and orilley.com to search for fitment by a specific vehicle to confirm aftermarket parts match factory parts. look in details section of description for compatible part numbers. Amazon much cheaper for exact same parts as O'Rilleys
