hp 44 narrowed to wagoneer. 5on5.5?

[FALCONE]

i just got done narrowing a 79 f250 44 to wagoneer lenght. i used the crane inner and outer high steer knuckles and i wanted to know whats the best outer setup to use to get the 5 on 5.5 bolt pattern. can i still use the outer waggy shafts?

thanks, brian

Warn Chevy stub shafts
Chevy small bearing spindles
'84 Chevy K10 caliper brackets and calipers
'84 Ford F150 rotor/hub assembly
Warn Dana44 premium lockouts

What's the advantage to this rather than the stock hp44 stuff?
19 spline outer stub shafts? Is there anyway around this to get more splines for little $? Are the outer stub dana 44 shafts weaker, as strong, or stronger than the dana 30 stub shafts?

In order:

No advantage.
Yes.
Weaker.

Brian, the Stock waggy outers are the same length as teh Chevy's, so you can sub them in to Jes's formula above.
