A guy I wheel with has a Dana 44 under the front of his Sammy.  I'ts a heavy axle compared to the stock one, he is now putting a 16v engine in just to be able to turn it with the 33's on the road.  That is with a 5.8:1 tranfser case and 5:89 gears.  I can outrun him on the road with my SJ-410 with the stock 1.0L, 33's, 6.5:1 and 5.12 gears.  If he unlocks his front hubs he can almost keep up though.  :D

You can always get them cut down if you want.  What size tires are you looking to run?

trade those 44's for some toy gear, you will be happier in the long run. 8)
