I think ABS was from 1987 on? The biggest problem for me was that the case was too wide - I would have had to shorten the driveshafts (NOT!).
In case you don't know already, you'll need a deep 30mm twelve point socket to remove the yoke.

I believe the ABS started in 1985. My 2.88 from a 1985 SD had the ABS sensor on the case, just aft of the yoke.
It does not seem possible that the case would be "too wide". If the diff will bolt up to the subframe, the axles should fit the diff.
