Need new rotors on my 93 crew cab 4x4. Seems like they are all made in China. Any advice on brands. Truck weighs 7,300 empty; so I want guality parts.

There is no risk in avoiding Chinese parts.
Koyo bearings are just as good as Timkens, if you're looking for bearings. Submarines use them, so I'm sure the Japanese have a lock on cone bearings.
Stoptech are made in the USA and I like them on my swapped axles. Be sure to get the heaviest rotors and uprated pads, should be good.
Did you replace the wheel studs when you swapped the rotors? This job sounds like a real pita. I have new rotors,pads and new old stock timkin bearings for mine. I had to mix and match bearings and races a few years ago. All Chinese and from several different stores as nobody had complete sets in stock. It's been fine amazingly.
Studs were easy. Seems like they'll be a pain but came out and went in without any issues.
I dreaded that part of it before I got into it but it wasn't bad at all.
And I reused mine. I thought about replacing them but did not. Maybe I'll be okay, maybe not.
