I've got an hp44 5x5.5 and an 8-lug 60. I've "heard" it's easy to convert the 60 to 5-lug.

Since I cannot search, what all is involved?

i'm guessing you're running the 60 in the rear and the 44 in the front, it would be easiest to convert the front to 8 lug. its bolt on factory/junkyard parts from a 3/4 ton ford or chevy, doesnt matter which.

the kit OS linked you is only for the front.

if your rear is semi floating (i dont feel like explaining that right now, so search google) you can just call up superior, duchman, randys, moser, ect and get shafts with whatever bolt pattern you want, about $300 a pair

if it is full floating, i dont know if anyone makes 5 lug rear hubs, they may be out there, hit google.

in conclusion, you have options... google is your friend

Haha I know what sf/ff means.

Guess I'll be making the 44 8-lug then. Seems like the easier option.
