    I've searched.... ;)

    Not finding what I need. I have a front Ford LP 8 lug 44, a Waggy 44 6 lug, and a EB 44 front with 5 on 5.5
    The only housing I know of that will work is the Waggy, Pass side drop. Got the 8 lug for the gears and lunchbox locker (5.38's) but I'd really like to run 6 lug and find some 6 lug Mag wheels from a FSJ.

    That brings up the rear end.... It's 5 lug and no possible way of adapting it AFAIK. I drafted it up and 2 or 3 lugs would over lap.

    I want to go FF on the rear and keep the offset ness, and have the ability to unlock the hubs. Could I possibly find another Waggy front end and put the brakes, spindles etc on the rear to run 6 lug? or am I just gonna have to find a different route?
    TIA.

    Why not stick with 5 lug? can't you find 5 lug hubs for the waggy front end?

    Want mag wheels..... And I have 15x4.5 KH's so they won't fit over the waggy stuff. Plus waggy is discs and I could potentially run discs in the rear.

    Depending what wag axle you have the Ford 5 lug hub will bolt up to the wag spindle with no modifications.
