Default front hubs for a 2002 dodge ram 1500.

I have a 2002 dodge ram with a 6in pro comp lift and my front hubs have gone out again. Rather than spending $260.00 dollars a piece on new hubs i was wondering if there are any heavy duty hubs made for our trucks. if you have any information please let me know your input is greatly appreciated.

yes i have checked 4wheelparts.com and they have nothing everwhere i have seen offers an OEM hub assembly. well i am tired of buying ne hubs every year especially at $260.00 a piece. so if there are any heavy duty one out there that would be great for me since i do alot of wheelin' in my truck.

It's interesting you mentioning hub problems atlaticblueram.

I've just replaced my rotors due to a massive failure of my passenger side front rotor.
I used this web site http://www.centricparts.com/techsupport.htmas a gudie to buying, installing and breaking in my new hubs and pads.
I found this link below, particularly useful with regards to the break in proceedure and explanations of "rotor warp".
Give it a read, it might help you bud?

Sorry atlaticblueram.Just re read your post.
You were talking about hubs and not rotors.
Hope you find that stuff interesting anyway?

I had to replace my drivers side hub last year and I was also appalled to find out I needed to shell out well over $200 for a hub. Chevy hubs cost like $60. In any case I did a little searching for something a little heavier duty and I came up empty handed. If you do end up finding something definitely let me know. I figured I would be replacing the other side sometime shortly after the first replacement but (knock on wood) its been a year and so far so good!

I just did a front hub/bearing on my jeep wrangler 155 bux for a heavy duty one online. what a bitch of a job. the rotor was like rusted on to the hub had to use a gear puller to get it off. was purrty cool when it popped off tho.
