98 8.8 explorer rear ABS brake issue

[sierrafox17]

hello fellow TRS patrons,

in the process of swapping the rear end from my 87 stx ranger to a 98 explorer 8.8. the problem is that the explorer has ABS and the guy who is selling it to me is afraid that it would not work because of the ABS. what do you think?

its just a sensor.. your 87 should have a sensor in the housing as well.. even if you dont have the harness its not going to hurt a thing.. its going to work just fine. the explorer axle your going to have to reweld spring perches and shock mounts.. other than that that axle is AWESOMe i have one in my ranger.
