To my knowledge no you can not. I forget if it was the D44 or the 9.25 that didn't have that ratio. I checked when I was looking at a gear swap. From what I've seen and read, you have 4.10 and then the next option is 4.56.
EDIT: I checked Randy's.. You can purchase 4.27s for the d44 but not for the 9.25 rear. Options in that range are 4.10 or 4.56.

If you have the tools and skills to change your 9.25 gears, you can change the D44 gears as well. Only additional tool you need is a case spreader which you can get for ~$200 and a pair of setup bearings you can make yourself in less than a half hour. Total cost for additional tools will be far less than labor charges. Change the drivers side axle seal as long as you have the diff. out, it has to come out anyway to change it, and you're already there.

4.56 with 35's would keep the engine RPM basically where it was with stock size tires, and the 3.55 gears.
4.88s with 35's would raise engine RPM some, putting it more into it's power band sooner. If most of your driving is around town, towing/hauling, it would be a nice power boost. Of course, the flip side is, worse fuel economy on the freeway.
