Default JK 1 ton axles electronics and splicing ABS wires?

I am building a dana 60 for the rearend of my jk. I already have a kingpin 60 front with tone rings and abs electronics.
Just to keep the dash lights and speedometer working do i have to run tone rings in the rear? Or can i splice the rear lines with to the front sensors and not mess with rear tone rings on the hubs. My jeep isnt a DD but i want to keep the dash board clean looking.

You can definitely run two sensors per wheel in the front. Someone else will have to comment on splicing. My suspicion is no since most people run two sensors per wheel and seems like splicing would be easier.

So i would actually have to run the sensor? I was hoping i could just splice my rears to my fronts and call it a day. I dont want to have to deal with all the troubles of it again and the parking brake.

I honestly don't have the answer. Why not just run the Artec bracket that mounts two per wheel. Wouldn't take very long to move the sensor. In fact, should be faster than splicing. Or leave them in the rear and toss a tone ring on and keep the ABS.

I'll update if I come across an answer. You could also pioneer the idea and see if it works.

You can lengthen lines but i dont believe you can run 2 sensors off one factory line...
