big brakes

It will be a '98+ 2wd Blazer/Jimmy only, pickups still had the same basic setup as a G-Body.

thx Doober. Yes the bearing is a sealed hub so brake jobs are a breeze. The sealed bearings are more expensive to replace because the incorporate an ABS Sensor which I of course cut off. Only 2wd trucks have this setup and it;s a straight up swap. Really no alignment req'd, no bumpsteer, no issues at all from what I have read and experienced and it's easily done in the driveway with 1 jack and 2 stands and the braking is noticably better.

I see on car-part.com that there is a set in Weyburn SK @ $125.00 ea probably complete with hub, spindle and calipers. Calipers and Rotors are the same as the 4x4 truck BTW

Axisg mentioned in his list that 2 wheel bearings cost him $400.
All the other costs appear normal.
Am I missing something???
EDIT- I get it. That is the cost of a sealed bearing unit due to the 4WD setup in the Blazers.

I'm pretty sure the bearing is slightly different between 2wd and 4wd.
