Sterling ABS Mounting Plates (2005+ Super Duty) for Jeep Wrangler JK
These plates hold a Jeep Wrangler JK's factory wheel-speed sensor in exactly the right spot on a 2005-or-newer Super Duty Sterling 10.5" rear axle. The late-model Sterling is a favorite JK one-ton swap axle, but its housing offers the Jeep's ABS sensor nothing to bolt to — and without a mounted sensor reading a tone ring, the computer sets codes and drops into limp mode. Laser cut from CNC machined steel and engineered using 3D scans of the housing, the plates position the sensor precisely over the ring for a reliable signal. They're the mounting piece of the ABS puzzle, sold separately for builds that already have a ring.
Features
- Positions the factory JK wheel-speed sensor on a 2005+ Super Duty Sterling axle
- Laser cut for precise sensor-to-ring spacing and a clean signal
- Engineered from 3D scan files of the actual housing
- CNC machined steel for a permanent under-axle installation
- Keeps ABS and traction control functional after the one-ton swap
- Made in the USA
Pair the plates with a tone ring matched to your JK's factory tooth count — the 60-tooth Sterling tone ring or the 52-tooth ring — or get everything at once with the complete 2005+ Sterling ABS kit. Donor axle from a 1999-2004 truck? Its sensor location differs, so use the 1999-2004 version of these plates instead.
Sterling ABS Mounting Plates (2005+ Super Duty) for Jeep Wrangler JK FAQs
Are these the same plates as the 1999-2004 version?
No — Ford changed the sensor arrangement on the 2005-and-newer Sterling, so each axle generation gets its own plate geometry. These fit the 2005+ Sterling 10.5"; the 1999-2004 housing takes the earlier version. Match the plates to your donor truck's year, not your Jeep's.
Do I need anything besides these plates?
Yes — a tone ring matched to your JK's factory tooth count, either 52 or 60, which is sold separately or bundled in the complete Sterling ABS kit. The plates mount the sensor; the ring gives it something to read. Depending on gearing and tire size, a tuner may round out the electronics side of the swap.
Why does sensor mounting precision matter so much?
The wheel-speed sensor reads the tone ring across a small air gap, and too much gap or misalignment produces a weak, intermittent signal — which reads as random ABS faults. These plates are laser cut and developed from 3D scans of the housing specifically to hold that gap consistently, so the system behaves like factory.
