Traction control uses the ABS sensors to sense wheel spin, it has nothing to do with the rear end.

The "ABS only" rear (yours) has a large single reluctor wheel, mounted on the differential carrier, and a sensor mounted on top of the diff housing. The TCS + ABS axle has a small, individual reluctor wheel mounted on the end of each axle and a sensor on the backing plate. Unless someone has found a way to interface the different pulse rates produced by the large diameter reluctor on the differential (ABS), and the small diameter reluctor on the axle (TCS + ABS), I'd say you're going to have a problem.
