Arrow 1998 dodge ram wrong rotors

Hi everyone. New to this forum. I have read a lot thru this forum and I really need help with changing out my front rotors. I have a 1998 ram 1500 2wd 5.2 liter with a rotors that don't seem to match up with anything that the book calls for. The existing rotors have no abs ring, and are attached with a spindle nut and tapered bushings. Any research on the truck results in either a studded rotor with an ABS ring or a floating rotor with no studs. Any ideas would be appreciated.

so you have a traditional 2wd rotor with an integrated hub with wheel studs. inside the hub you have separate inner and outer tapered roller bearings. the rotor/hub slides over the spindle and a nut tightens up against the outer bearing.

just like my old chevy.

i'll look at rockauto.... here you go.

Default No ABS ring

Thanks but I guess short of measuring it out, there is no way of figuring where these rotors come from. The rotors from rockauto I believe all have the abs ring on the back side. Unfortunately this will not work with my truck.
