From my understanding, the ABS ha snothing to do with the brake system on the axle end of things. Only differance between abs and non abs axles is the ABS ring, and the sensor.
The EPS runs via the same ring and sensor.

All actions of the ABs/EPS is controlled with the control module thatall the brake lines run into after leaving the master cylinder.

I have spliced wires on ABS systems before when they got torn off on the trail.

If the ABS wires comming from the axle could be spliced into a solid axle that also has ABS, why would it not work?

Maybe there is something I am not understanding???

I'm pretty sure you just said what I said. There is no differance in the brake system of the axle itself.. (caliper, rotor ect) Only the fact that there is a ABS ring on the axle shaft, and a sensor with a wire running to the module. So if I was to put d30 with ABS from an xj, or grand cherokee I could infact keep the esp working.

My question wasnt wether or not putting a solid 30 under the liberty made sense, the question was could the ESP be kept if I used a solid axle with ABS.

The 30 can handle 35's which is more than our IFS is able to accomodate. I can put a solid 30 under there for less than the cost of a frankenlift. So it makes sense to me.

It guess people dont have the ability to make things themselves. I have a full machine shop at my disposal aswell as a racecar shop between the two I can build just about anything needed. Its easier to buy a few things like the SYE (they can be had for $200-250 now adays)

I can pick up complete cherokee's and grand cherokee's for less than $500 all day long, pull the parts I need sell some and scrap the rest and break pretty even, if nto making money off of it and gaining parts.


I can setup my own gears and I get a nice discount at 4wheelparts so my gears will cost next to nothing. I can build my own driveshafts, and pay the local shop $20 pershaft to balance them.

I wouldnt NEED to upgrade the axles at all. We blow 30 gears more often than shafts. And that isnt very often when they are run on welded carriers or arb's where you get total locking action.

There would be no labor cost becuase I would do it myself.

And I have found through research the xj/tj/zj ABS tone ring can be modified to work with the kj frequency. In the same fashion as the guys who run 8.8's and keep ABS.


I jeep axles under a chevette for less than 1,000 and that included buildign a custom tube frame for it. I think I can get an hp30 under the kj for less than the cost of a frankenlift.

oh and 2006KJ I get dibs on the 2nd Donnie SFA, I met him first!
