Default +++ narrowing rear end advise++++

Got an 05 SSS 2wd and a set of racelines 22s with 6in on the Rear that I want to put.. I know narrowing rear ended is a must... I want to know those of you that have done this, if shortening rear end will give me abs or no traction lights on my dash or if any sensors will be damaged or deleted by doing the shortening??? Thanks in advance

I had my 2004 single cab narrowed 2.5 inches on each side and I didn't have any dash lights come on.

There is no sensors on the rear axle from a GMT 800 truck.

Here is mine.. my rear wheels stick out about 2 in on each side.. the billets are in storage now until I can get my rear end chopped up... I don't think I have to modify my bed or rear suspension since mine don't have a massive lip.. or do I???

Sorry for the poor pic. With the 2.5" narrow my 305s sit about 3/4" in from the fender.
