Default Independent Rear Suspension

Ok guys im setting up a IRS. Im using a center carrier from a Ford Expedition (9.75") and will custom build the a arms and spindles. I will have a set of axles made to a custom size for my narrowed track width because I'm bagging the truck at the same time. I need help with my hub choices. I'm want to try and stay GM for bolt pattern and ABS comparability. My first thought is 4wd hubs, but will those hold up to full time use? Thanks for the help.

4WD front hubs should work great!

Just a thought, could you get the ford hubs redrilled for GM bolt pattern?

But yea, the GM front hubs should be fine. Or go for 3/4 ton hubs and get them redrilled for 6 5.5?

Ive run out of ideas now.
