My 06 F250 might be in need of a front end rebuild...

Truck has spent its whole life of 90k miles 8" up in the air on 37's. Overall it isn't the sloppiest truck I have driven, but my axle dust shields are hanging free on both sides now and ESOF 4x4 engagement is hit and miss so I am pretty sure the ESOF seals are shot. Since I am going in there I am thinking about just doing the whole thing, seals, ball joints, and maybe even bearings...Rather than having to track down every little piece, is there somewhere that sells a complete kit with everything that would be needed to rebuild a front end? I know powerstrokeshop.com used to have something, but they are no more...

I did find this though that looks like it might have everything I would need.

I wasn't really thinking that I needed to replace the hub bearing assembly at this time, but do you think it might be worth it since everything will be apart anyway?

I'd suggest XRF for Ball Joints. Check your hubs and if they are needing relacement, then look into Dynatrac. It is the only way to get rid of the hit-n-miss ESOF vacuum hubs.

That kit linked doesn't make sense. 04 and older use different parts from 05 and newer.
