Default 98 Ram 1500 Sport Rotor ?

I have a question for all of you Dodge owners out there. I have a 1998 Ram 1500 Sport, 2wd, 5.2l. I need to replace the front brakes and my left, front caliper is seized, so that has to be replaced also. My question lies here. I went to the auto parts store and they had 2 ypes of rotors there. 1 that had the hub attached and the other was simply a slip on rotor. Without me tearing it all apart first, do you all know which one I need? This way, I can get them on my way home from work and do it all at once. This would be a great help!

Thanks.

Being a 2wd you should have the rotor/hub combo. 4wd have a hub and bearing assy so they use a slip on. Check your bearings while your in there. not sure how many miles you have but they might need replacing. The new rotors should already have new race's in them for the bearings to run on.

Mine is 2wd also and it has the slip on, so not all 2wd are rotor hub combos

Your right YZ. After 1999 they switched to a hub assy. and slip on rotor.
