Sting tensions for 22.75" scale lap steel in Open D DADF#AD????

[Doug Anderson]

I have a SX which has a 22.75" scale and it's turned to open D. DADF#AD.

I'm adding benders on strings 2 and 3 so I was looking at adding the stings suggested by Lessons with Troy for benders which are the following....,
D'Addario PL016 Plain Steel Ball End .016 in. (.41 mm) Single String
D'Addario NYS018 High Carbon Plain Steel Guitar String, .018 gauge
D'Addario NYNW026 Nickel Plated Steel Wound Electric String, .026 gauge
D'Addario NW036 XL Nickel Wound Electric String, .036 gauge
D'Addario NW046 XL Nickel Wound Electric String, .046 gauge
D'Addario NW059 XL Nickel Wound Electric String, .059 gauge

HOWEVER, these strings are for his Duesenberg FairyTale which I thinks is a 25.5" scale instrument. I have similar tension strings on this lap steel now and they are are too floppy for my preference.

What tensions do you like on a 22.5 or 22.75" in Open D? I was planing to use the stings listed above but just increase the tensions. Would you decrease the gauge a bit for the two strings that will be used with the benders?
