it's pretty easy to replace them, can do it with a floor jack. Be sure that you unplug the wheel sensor.

thr rotor has to come off and the caliper mounting bracket does too. you can just lay the caliper up out of the way but it does have to be unmounted, but you dont have to disconnect the brake lines. you will need a large Torx bit, about a T45 or so, cant remember, its for the caliper bolts

unbolt the caliper, flop it off to the side
disconnect the wheel speed sensor on the back of the hub
then unbolt the old hub from the spindle

reuse all of the old bolts.

Camburg or Blitzkreg...

They are designed for off road abuse but I know of trucks running them on daily drivers.

Only available new through either off-road company...

http://www.camburg.com/

or

http://www.blitzkriegoffroad.com/

Not cheap but guys are running 37" tall tires in the dezert beating them to hell so I'm sure they would last a long while if not the life of the truck on a daily driver.
