If you are only wanting the gears for offroad use, why not use low range in the transfer case when off road? This would leave you with a more reasonable road rig and not cost any money up front.

Since you're running 35's I have to agree with 1975IH200. Those are HUGE tires. I expect that they weigh well over 100 pounds each. What that does is place four HUGE flywheels out there that take LOTS of torque to turn. If you're going to be on the road with the truck, especially loaded or towing, it will take 4.56's just to get it to untrack itself.
Couple these gears with a set of full length headers to add torque and then you'll get some performance back. Don't expect this to be an economy car though. It will like gas. As a matter of fact, once you put enough fuel in it to make it any distance at all, you will need those gears even if you're running empty in order to haul the weight of the fuel.
