Has anyone changed the bolt pattern on a XJ Dana 44 or know the following. I am changing the bolt pattern on my rear to 5 on 5.5. Dutchman wants to know. I thought they would know the dimensions. I could measure but would rather use someone elses measurements that worked. Many thanks for anyone that has these!

See if they still have my information in their system. I ordered some XJ alloy shafts with 5 on 5.5 a year or so ago. I had to send them the backing plates, but I know they made a template from them-- I could see the Sharpie marks on the original plates... I'm sure I still have the paperwork if you need more specifics.
