What exactly are you after, the knuckle only holds the sensor right? You need a sensor ring and a sensor. Maybe using TTB F150 rotors will get you an ABS ring on the backside. You would need to make sure that the ring is the same tooth count as factory, and then fab a bracket for the sensor. A machine shop could get your ring mounted. ABS has disadvantages for an offroad rig, even when on the street. I'd sit him down and explain this to him before he refi's his house for a system that is sketchy at best, and you end up married to an ABS light.

Just let the ABS go. If your doing a SAS on a ranger, that tells me that you off-road quite a bit. The last thing you want off road is ABS. I'm doing a SAS on my explorer right now and ditch the ABS. :cool2:

ABS won't be very effective anyways with tires 35" or bigger, I wouldn't worry about it.

my '96 f150 only had abs in the rear, so i seriously doubt anything old enough to have a solid axle would have abs. its not that usefull on the front of a truck because there is usually a ton of weight up there anyway.

I too would dump the ABS.
But like was said, check out the 94-96 bronco rotor.
The gears press on the back side of the rotor, but if its the same size and pluse width as the ranger uses, who knows.
Maybe you and press the ranger gear on the bronco rotor, but I think the Range has the ABS on the axle end????? been while since i saw a stock ranger
