I appreciate the info ESwift.I've already ordered the bracket and pedal assembly from Riffraff. Their price was a lot better than the dealership.

Mile Markers are the best deal, better than the standard Warn hubs since they don't have plastic dials like the warns do and they are cheaper. If you have the standard Warn hubs and a brake caliper sticks or wheel bearing starts to go bad the heat will melt the plastic dial and Warn won't cover it under warranty, that isn't an issue with MM hubs.

Perhaps all internal-style hubs do this, but my Milemarkers rattle when you drive. They don't fit the wheel hub tightly (by design). Only noticeable at slow speed with the windows down. Slightly annoying.

I don't have that problem, did you install both lock rings?

The Warn Premiums are all metal and have worked great for me.

The premiums are good hubs but cost twice as much as the Mile Markers.

These should give you some heartburn.

The only time I will get a rattle is when I hit a bump and even then it is only noticeable at low speed with the windows down.

It was years ago, but I surely followed all the instructions. There has to be some play for the snap-ring to engage and I think the rattle is just an artifact of that design problem.
