The rear wheel speed wires (twister pair) pass through to a harness on the rear axle. At the connector we swap from normal wire (twisted pair) to a tougher encapsulation wire that goes the wheel speed sensors.
The OE style encapsulation wiring is hard to find and I had to purchase 1000 feet of it to get some. Nice stuff.
I’ll get a photo soon

So you're dropping it at the sides near the hubs like a late model and then running a flexline right to the calipers and the wheel speed sensor wires right to the hub... thanks!
Makes more sense than running everything to the top of the center section and then down along the axle tubes like the 50 year old OEM layout-- especially when I would have to snake the lines and wires over watts link brackets, sway bar brackets, and then worry about maintaining adequate clearance between the hard lines and speed sensor wires to the tailpipes at full suspension compression. Dropping them at the sides keeps them out of the way of all of the rear end brackets and also the hot exhaust.
