The gears will work fine as long as they're for an 8.8 rear end.

I 2nd, as long as they are for a ford 8.8 they will be fine.

the gears have nothing to do with the ABS or the traction control

but the one thing that would worry me is putting in used gears I would not do it, used gears already have a pattern worn in them and the chance of getting them to not make noise is slim, plus they have a higher chance to fail

They'll work. Good choice on the 4.10s too. Too many people fear the gear!
