Ive never heard of people having problems with the hubs on 88-98's. ALOT of problems with actuators and CV's

i think you might be thinking of the hubs on dodges and such that are "auto" in that they they are not manual. but thats for solid front axles, not ifs. which is what the 88-2011+ chevys have.

 

[joshjuniorr]

yeah. friends with solid axles come to think of it were the ones that complained. I dont plan on doing heavy trail riding so most of the stock stuff on my 3500 should be pretty solid

yep you should be fine.
