the u joints can squeak too if they are out of grease and the needle bearings haven't ground to dust yet. do you spend any time in water above the center of the rims? if you do you should check out the u joints. if it is the u joints and the bearings are ground up you should hear a clicking/tapping noise at low speeds when turning from the joint moving around in its caps.

You are only going to get a very round about ball park figure with that question. And most will reply like I'm going to. Do it yourself! Buy the parts and rent or borrow the tools for free from where ever you buy the parts. Get a Haynes manual and go to town. You have a nice rig btw and can make a custom spare tire rack, so it should be easy.

Rockauto.com if you don't have to fix it today. And btw, it might not be those parts. Have you checked every thing? Does it do it all the time or just in 4 wheel? Are you sure the the hub bearings and /or calipers are not causing the noise? Don't just replace stuff if you are not sure.
