Assuming your talking about factory axles. You might want to save up for 60's sooner than later if you plan on wheeling it.

Do you have a d30 or 44 ?

Yes, gears will do you good as far as daily driving.

With 40's though your problem will be your stock axle bending.

Gears will work, but the added stress of those 40's on stock axles is a lot....
For the front, potentially cracked/bent axle housing.
Ball joints are weak.
On and on...
It can be done but I would be hypersensitive on the trail.
