Yes. Several memebers have gone to SFK tapered bearings. The search option can yield some good results. Here is an example.

I use the All Balls kits on my stuff.
Hands down an improvement to stock, just be careful not to over pre load the bearings

Answer is YES! As said, big improvement on stock ball bearing fitment, as said, the amount of preload is crucial to get that right, there's some good info on this on youtube,
this procedure is good, well explained!
