How did you get the 5% discount

Just google for rock auto discount code. You'll find them at a bunch of sites. Paste that code into the "How did you hear about us" box on the shopping cart page.

Amazon is normally my goto place as well. I am a Prime member and order stuff all the time, probably weekly. But Amazon charges sales tax in Ohio now. These same things would be $30 more through Amazon. Plus, I'm still getting them pretty close to the same day. Ordered them today, and I'll have them on Tuesday.

I am swapping my front housing with a Rubicon housing. The new housing doesn't have hubs, and I didn't want to mess with all that when I go to actually install them. So I am building the new housing up as much as I can to limit how much I have to take off the old one, and how much I have to do on install day. Being a daily driver, I can't afford to have it down for days.

The only thing I'll need to swap will be my rotors and calipers.

Don't be misled into thinking the Timken name on the box means you are getting a better unit bearing. All the JK unit bearings I have seen, including the one in a Timken box, have ILJIN on the hub, which is the overseas company that makes the OEM unit bearing. They all have ball bearings in them, not the tapered roller bearings I am used to getting when buying a Timken product.

I would be glad to hear that is now not true. If anyone has updated info, please post it.

Even better, overnight shipping for the price of ground! Well, it shipped from Maryland, so it was a really quick trip.
