Should I swap my Dana 44 for a 8.8?

I have a Dana 44 in the rear with the 3.55s and I want to go to 4.10s. At first I was going to regear but ring and pinion with the bearing kit is about $300. I think I could pick up a ford 8.8 with 4.10s, disk brakes, and a limited slip for about $200 then all the other stuff I need for a total of about $300. What's everyone's opinions? My biggest worry is the 1.25" narrower because I already have wheel adapters to fit my 17" Jk wheels and the 255/75/17s. So I think if I did the swap i'd have to get new thicker adapters for the rear?
