^^^i got that exact kit except no wheel bearings. so far so good. depending on your mileage and your level of skill you could save a few bucks and not get wheel bearings and then replace them down the road if you ever had any problems.

This is the same install for cheaper through one of the sponsors here on the site. It just doesnt have the wheel bearings. You can pick those up for cheaper than 20 dollars apiece though if you really need them.

I would find a different brand than Motive. I used them on a buddies car a few months ago and did not have good luck with them. First set had a chunk taken out of the ring gear, made it thump while driving. 2nd set wines and it's set up correct. There many other brands to choose from, and I'd suggest doing so
