You want to run 40s, but, you don't want to do much fabrication?
Good luck keeping it in one piece.
As for 44s from an 88 xj. Xjs never came with a front 44. and the rear would be reliable up to 35s, and thats about it. a BUILT front 44 is really only reliable up to 35-37s depending on how you wheel.
As for gearing. I ran 5.38s with 35s-38s. It was great with the 35s. I wish it was lower when i had 38s. Didnt have much trouble with the automatic in the rocks, on the road it was a dog. With a 5 speed im sure i would have wanted deeper gearing (in the form of transmission and transfercase).
