Front hubs and Wheels

[Blazer]

I have an 85 Blazer with a 4 inch lift and 35's

 

This questions is how hot should the hub get? I always remember them getting warn, but if I drive now for 30 mins or so at 70ish. The wheel and hubs are almost to hot to touch... I changed the wheel bearings in one side to see if there was any difference and it's not much cooler

 

Is this normal??

 

Here are a couple pic of the truck...

When was the last time the front wheel bearings were repacked with fresh grease. I have seen wheel bearings fry after 40k miles with out being repacked. It should be done approx every 30k miles, unless the vehicle is used heavily off-road, then it should be more often. If this doesn't get done, it might end up more that fried wheel bearings. It could run into damaged hubs and fubared spindles.

Don't forget the fact that front brakes generate heat. With 35" tires, the brakes are working a little harder.
