8.8 swap

Has anybody used the 90 Ranger 8.8 with the big brakes shortened on the driver side to the 95 short axle length? Are my calculations correct that it would have a 1" right pinion offset, 54.5" width, and 1/2" between backing plate and spring?
Most rangers 8.8's us the 27 (EDIT: 28 Spline) spline smaller axles. I would check that before using it.
