yeah that seams like a good deal , im not sure what brand Knuckle Bearings and Wheel Bearings they sell with that kit , you want High Quality Japanese-made bearings. not chinese made bearings.. you might want to call all-pro and find out what bearings they sell with that kit or someone might chime in and know what bearings they sell.

I would verify who the makes of the kit is. As others have stated, the TG kit comes with chinese bearings. I went with the Marlin kit

Marlin kit is the way to go. If you do end buying this, at the very least I would suggest buying a set of eco-seals from Marlin.

Yeah I agree...I think the marlin set is best. And the price is really reasonable as well. That's what I will go with. Was just curious if that stuff was Chinese junk or not. Still may them and get some info though. Thanks for all the help!

That is definetely the AllPro kit.
The seller is "Bundrantmotorsports." The owner of AllPro is Jon Bundrant.

I forget the name brand of the bearings, they were Japanese though.

I think the marlin kit your talking about comes with wheel bearings, and the kit mentioned above does not. The marlin kit that is comparable is $99

Your exactly right. Yep so its $99 vs $80...I'd def go with marlin for $20 bucks more. Was thinking the all pro had wheel bearings.
