Just enter the diff ring and pinion gear ratio into the calculator.
regarding the bearing damage - was it a new bearing when you installed it, or was it a carry over from prior to installing the Slipperential? I doubt the spacers caused the failure, Alan - more likely wear and dirt over time or perhaps improper installation. The actual load on the CD bearings is a very small fraction of the load the 8x16 bearings are capable of and spacing them out the amount needed won't cause damage.
