Unhappy auto hubs

I am looking to change my automatic hubs out to the Warn manual ones... I found the hubs, but what else do I need in maybe the conversion ideas!? Can someone tell me how to do this, I heard it wasn't that hard, but I am new to this! I have an 89 Ford Bronco (full size) with 6" lift and 3" body lift running 35 TSL's. I am also getting a bad grinding sound from the front and earlier I was getting a scraping sound like brake pads...what gives?

Welcome to FTE. How many screws are on the face of the hub? If you have 3, you need to purchase a spindle nut conversion kit. If you have five or six, you dont need to purchase anything additional. The grinding sound is normally indicitive of the hubs crapping out. I know mine made a god awful grinding sound when the finally gave (96 bronco). For more information, you should use the search function and search for 'auto hubs' in the Big Bronco forum. It has been discussed MANY times, and you should get every question you have, answered.
