I agree if its been awhile since you did the clutch and your bearing is worn I would replace it all while you have it out and easier to do.
Seems kind of weird your bearing wore out first.
I have eaten up a few clutches in this truck and either the pressure plate, or disc go out first.
You cant tell when a pressure plate it going to go out by looking at it, so if its been awhile you can save your self some future headache if you get it done now. How many miles you think you got on those clutch parts?
If your flywheel doesnt have a matte finish your should have it resurafaced.
Resurface your flywheel if:
It have a smooth shiny finish
It has grooves in it (like disc brake rotors get)
It has color changes from heat

For best performance you want your flywheel to have a slightly textured matte finish like shown in the second picture above. Some people just use sand paper on them, but the resurfacings not only gives you a better finish across the flywheel but it also levels it out so you dont have any high spots that can eat the disc up. its well worth the $28.
