What year is your truck?  97+ Trucks dont use the "hat" style hubs.  I 98-00 use vacuum hubs and anything after that uses live axles (no locking hubs)

If you have the vacuum hubs the best solution is to get the hubs and axles from a 95+ Exploder and swap them onto your truck.  the 95+ Exploders had the same front suspension and drive train minus the vacuum hubs.  Oh and dont forget to plug the old vacuum lines.
