Any reason why the front ones are double the price of the back ones? I would think that the back need to be better because of the variable weight above them compared to the relatively unchanging weight of the front of the truck... but that's just my thoughts.
Any specific brands work better than others?
Thanks again!
I've never changed my own, but I'm certain the labor is more involved on steering axles. I don't really think the fronts and rears are different - am I being naive here?

I don't have any brands to recommend either. Motorcraft is a sure bet, but I imagine any of the major brands will do as well in this case.
