Default 2 or 4 wheel ABS

Ok, so dumb question here but I need to replace my wheel bearings and they are asking if I have a 2 or 4 wheel abs system and I'm unsure.
2000 Dodge Ram 1500 5.9l

Is there a way I can check using the VIN?

All trucks of that era have at least rear wheel ABS via the tone ring and speed sensor in the center of the rear differential. If your truck has 4 wheel ABS, check the front wheels to see if you see any wiring going to wheel sensors on each front wheel. If so, you have 4 wheel ABS.

You can also read more here, but it's a bit convoluted - https://dodgeforum.com/forum/2nd-gen...-breaks-3.html
