Just get Precision part #515020 with the 3-year warranty from O'Reilly Auto Parts and be ready to replace them every year. The warranty gets me free hubs every year after the initial purchase.
If you want to spend more, you can get a Dynatrac Spin Free hub conversion kit or similar.

I have mile marker hubs on 37/13/18’s... they work great and the crap I drive through... they do me well!! Pulling a dodge which is roped to a Chevy you can see the cab of the Chevy
back there...uphill.. the road was untraveled and the snow was about foot and a half to two feet... these hubs do good

Ford truck noob must love work. I couldent help but look up the rate of 120 for that part plus picturing this noob walking in once a year to O craplys w his “broken” hub and his truck down for repair. There is not much room to save on these truck so I spend to help keep the to do list down. Was going for moog then after reading on this forum and others I went with Timken for 155 and I’m set for years to come at a 35 dollar price point. Of course I’ll grease my needle bearings once a year or so to maintain while noob is replacing the whole thing. I must attest he will deffiety come out more experienced than me in hub replacement lol As for the lockers I’m w the stock they deffinetly work but sometimes have to go forward and back to have them lock in. I have read there are better ones that lock quicker but no experience. Except when I thought I was in 4x4 then got stuck in a tiny mud puddle with all my friends to watch lol Now if I think I need 4x4 I put in in before to ensure I’m locked in.

I agree with rig.. when mine go out since they were what my truck came with I might go to timkin.. spend more so you have to do less... that goes with everything on my truck also helps with the longevity of my ride...

Rig & Strokin, you're right. I can do a hub swap in 20 minutes flat. When one is running 37" tires, there are no unit bearings that will last significantly longer to save you the work. Might as well replace them yearly (for free in my case) or spend the bucks to get something like the Dynatrac Free Spin kit. I would love to get a Free Spin but I just can't justify spending that much money when my initial investment of ~$400 gets me fresh bearings every year for 8 years now.
