You won't find a stock JK D44 with 3.73s, unless I am mistaken. You could pay the difference and upgrade to the D44, if your insurance company is cool with it, but then you'd need to regear the rear, of course. Most insurance companies will let you do stuff like that because all it is to them is just a number on a check.

RedneckJeep is right, the JK D44 fronts only come with 4.10s, so you'd either have to re-gear the rear to match, or get the check from the insurance company and then hope to find a good used JK D30 cheap and use the extra cash to build it up.
