What is the reason behind not being able to keep ABS when doing the swap to an 8.25 Chrysler axle? I would like to do the disc swap as well as strength upgrade but want to keep ABS. I've seen some somewhat solid work arounds with aftermarket ABS sensors to keep the ABS working right. I would be willing to pay more for parts if I could keep it.

Liberties came with 8.25s but seem to have a tone ring in their diff? WTF?

There were 4 bolts and I think two nuts that I removed on the passenger side and 3 bolts and 2 nuts on the driver. I am a chick so my version of wiggling it loose probably sucks but I can certainly try to pry it a little. Do these things get stuck on there sometimes?
