To be honest, my old truck had sat up and I had only driven it 6 miles (with no brakes) prior to replacing the bearings. In the course of the brake job, I discovered the bad bearings and realized that the cost of converting to the newer style was comparable to the original style. In fact, if I remember correctly it was a couple of dollars cheaper than the original bearings.I figured that I might as well fix two problems at once, so I did. I'm afraid I'm no help in the ride department.:)
