Default stupid hub question

I need new hub bearings on my truck but am not sure of which ones I need. How do I know if I have 2 wheel or 4 wheel ABS? Is there any difference on the brands? Timken, Moog/National? here are the ones Im looking at
MOOG/NATIONAL Part # 515038 Front; 4WD; 2-Wheel ABS
MOOG/NATIONAL Part # 515039 Front; 4WD; 4-Wheel ABS



I'm also replacing tie rods and not sure which ones I need. Looking to stick with Moog on these but on RockAuto i can't seem to find the Front Right Inner on there but they have 2 different part # for the left inner...
MOOG Part # ES3527 Front Left Inner (To Pitman Arm)
MOOG Part # ES3526 Front Left Outer
MOOG Part # DS1460 Front Right Outer
MOOG Part # DS1462 Front Left Inner

going by the part number, I would think that the last one is mislabeled but I have never worked on steering components so I have no idea whats what.

I have a 2001 1500 4wd with the 5.2 auto sport if that helps..

Take a look under your hood, if you have the motor/controller for ABS, you have 4wal, if not, then rwal. Or, look at your front hubs from the back. If there is a wire going to them, that means 4wal. No wire: rwal.

Get timkens for bearings.

I got a build sheet for mine and it told me 2w abs. Go and check and see if theres a wire hanging down or just a brake line. Extra wire will be 4w abs. IIRC only the slt laramies came with 4w abs.

edit: that ninja above me^^

Download the parts catalog from the faq section here, and it will give you a nice picture of what your steering linkage looks like. I *think* there is a possible upgrade for the steering... (going to a cross-over steering, instead of the Y type that is on there now.....) Might wanna check into that as well.
