Yes, you should be able to, but because you are jamming big tires in there, you wont have as much up travel.

Hehe, yeah. I've got a bad oil leak from the distributor. Gonna replace the distributor mounting gasket one of these days.

Haha, this "mall rig" is gonna hit the trails soon

Who needs a parking spot? This is a JEEP

Yeah, i knew that, I just didn't know if it came with a 44 stock, and someone switched them out, I thought the build sheet would just tell me plain and clear "D35 rear axle" :P but then again, the 4.0s didn't come with a D44, right?
