Not sure about the bearing surfaces, but you just want to make sure you match up the parts. For example, if you get the spindles for the 1-1/4" rotors make sure you get those rotors and brakes. If you mismatched the parts they may not all fit together (calipers won't fit around rotor, caliper may not line up with rotor, etc.)

If you're going to get new rotors and calipers anyway, might I suggest getting all 1/2 ton stuff...unless you really want the beefier 3/4 ton parts. Those beefier 3/4 ton parts tend to have a beefier price too. It's not a lot when you compare each component, but it all adds up.
