8.8 3 channel abs keep your fingers crossed I'm working with a guy to make a 106 tooth abs ring that will work with the 8.8 housing. if it works i'll see how many I can get and how much it will cost for those who want to do the 8.8 swap and keep the 3 channel abs.

I know this is an old thread, but I thought I'd chine in anyway.
The stock tone ring is 106 tooth, while the ford 8.8 is 108, that's a 1.8% increase. Considering the abs is basing wheel speed on the time between each tooth (not all teeth) this should have the same effect as running LARGER wheels up front and SMALLER wheels in the back.
As it stands my tires are 2% larger in the back than the front. I have zero abs issues.
If I installed the stock 8.8 tone ring, my rear wheels will be approximately 0.2% slower than the front according to the abs and I should NOT get an abs light (assuming a 3% abs threshold, I've read abs complaints as low as 4.4% tire size differential front to rear). But if I squared up my tires I don't see an issue arising as that would put me under my current 2% differential.
Any one else have thoughts on this? I'm considering an 8.8 swap and this is one of the issues I'm seeing.

I just got mine finished. I just cut the ears off and ground the housing down enough to get the gm sensor close enough to the reluctor wheel. No lights so far. Only about 25 miles on it so far though.
