GM started using the new style bearing, hub, ABS sensor assembly for 2wd trucks in 1999. They had many internal revesions for the first several years. The 4wd hub units worked better because they had the CV flange bolted thru the center. I have seen instances where the new style hub has come completly apart causing big $$$ repairs. I have never seen the old hub/rotor style come apart.

These assemblies will cost you alot more money. The kits would require larger wheels (no new 1/2 tons use 15" wheels). They only come in 6-lug. You will need to run a much larger back spacing causing miss-matched wheel offsets front to rear.

CPP makes Forged Aluminum Hubs in every bolt patern Chevy, Ford, MOPAR, car and truck. CPP has complete 13" brake kits for less $ than anyone else I have seen. Willwood and other brake companies already make kits to work with the CPP spindles.
