Pretty sure that's the same setup as my 99 2wd. I and another
listmember (mml or dml, not sure) had trouble with aftermarket
bearings.
The one i got from rockauto was looser than the bad one i was
replacing.
The one from mopar was a lot more expensive, but was good.
2 more gotchas:
You are supposed to get a new spindle nut, since there is a
nylon "retainer" that gets grooved by the threads. I have heard of
people reusing them, but that thought gives me the willies, so i
got new ones.
The torque on the nut is very high. I can look up the number, but
it's higher that what a "normal" wrench goes to.
