WTT my rear 44 locked 4.88's

[DanMan2k06]

I had sort of an epiphany recently. I'm completely happy with my jeep at the moment! I had plans to bump up to 35's, so I began gearing accordingly. But recently I've felt like I really have no need. I wouldn't go any more places with 35's that I couldn't already with 32's. And my 32's are virtually brand new... It would be more money, more time (and downtime), and all around more hassle for what I see as little gain. The 4.88's with my current 32's are a total dog on the highway, and I do a lot of roadtrips. SO, that said -

I want to bump down a gear size, and want to do so with a trade.
Here's what I have:

-'91 Dana 44, raised shock mounts, 4.88 gears, Powertraxx locker (honestly, not sure if it's a lockright or a no-slip), Rockcrusher diff cover, full (non-seized) e-brake cables, and good brakes. No leaks, no bad seals, no bad bearings.

Here's what I want:

-Dana 44 (don't care of the year, as long as it work), stock shock mounts, needs to have full e-brake cables, 4.56 gears MANDATORY, don't care if it's locked (actually I would prefer open), don't care about a sweet diff cover, and don't care if it needs new brake shoes as long as the drums are decent. NO 8.25's!! I'm going to be doing an ABS swap and the 44 is a lot less involved than the 8.25.

I realize I may be coming out here at a loss, but I really don't care as long as I end up with what I want. Let me know what you've got! Willing to meet within an hour or so.

What about an 8.8?

Sorry, no 8.8's. At this point, Im still debating what to do. There's a thread on it in mod tech, but it seems this axle wasn't quite the gem I thought it was. Gears are potentially set up wrong, no slip is making all kinds of ruckus, and the right axle seal is leaking like a sieve (started seeping, then got worse very VERY quick). Couple that with brakes that look like they're from the 1940's. I may swap it back out and plan a total rebuild.
