You will burn your clutch up because the different size tires will lower your final drive, making it harder to turn your tires, thus you will have to slip the clutch in order to move (higher rpms for more hosses to turn the tires). This in turn burns up the clutch. A dana 44 will not do anything to avoid this, unless it is already geared to around 4.88 and then you will still need to regear the front to wheel it. And buy new rims to fit the axle bolt pattern.
