Default Rear Axle swap, What to do with the ABS?

I have a 1993 Country model that has about 5" of lift and 31's. I want to swap my rear axle before I go to larger tires. The issue I am running into is the ABS. I figure the easiest thing would be to get rid of the ABS and switch to a traditional brake system. Problem is I am not sure what I need to get rid of the ABS. I would like to do it right without jimmy rigging anything.

Thanks

Joshua

I did the samething,found a donor at the jy and used the master cylinder and needed brake lines. All you would have to do to yours is remove all abs related items and replace with non abs.
Just take your time and have patience with brake lines they bend easy.
