Rear is a different sensor. I just looked at the Chrysler prints http://www.factorychryslerparts.com/

Take a look there and you can search the diagrams (I searched based on my JK: 2013 2-door, manual trans, Sport). If you have a length measurement on the short ones, I can quick go measure the length of my stock cable for comparison.

Ok, just went and measured my stock cable. It is 45", not including the plugs. However, the part number on it is different. I found 52060156AD. I googled it and it just comes up as a somewhat generic speed sensor.

Sorry man, that's all I can come up with. The one on the replacement unit bearing was about 5" shorter than my stock wire.

Yea, 5 " is about right., but I don't have a part number. It's definately long enough for a 6 inch lift. Plus you can always re route them. I spliced the back ones.

I ordered a set of ABS sensor extension cables from Aeromotive, received yesterday. They come as a set of four for front & rear, 8" long. I'll do the fronts and see how they do. Nice quality, impressed with their service.

The front must be the problem? Im running stock rear on 16 travel and theres plenty of room....

Why not run them down the cas and axle?

Default Not sure if this will help...

Hello guys, one thing I did with my 2008 JK was to eliminate all brackets that hold the wheel sensor cables and strap them to my brake lines. I think they are more secure now and will definitely help with length. Again, not sure if that will help, good luck. Bye.

Ok, well, bad news to report about the Aeromotive ABS extension cables. I installed one on the passenger front and it resulted in the ABS & ESP/BAS fail lights illuminated. Removed it, reconnected the ABS sensor to the harness and the lights went out after driving it a few feet. Tried a different Aeromotive cable from the set they sent me and got the same result. Visually the plugs on the extension cables look like they should mate up and work fine, they click together and latch just like stock. Not sure if they're not making connection, or if the added resistance is affecting the ABS system logic. Any ideas?
