Wow, Mr. Grumpy Pants...Or to put it clearly a 2.75% difference in size, or to put it simillarly to your FUDy statement "almost more than 1/4" smaller" (when it's less than 1/4" difference), soo.. almost less than 2% difference. Yeah, that whopping ~3% difference would be almost more than un-possible to overcome with metallurgy or design sciences that it must be "compromised".
I mean how would an axle with a 220mm ring gear possibly be as strong as one with a 226mm ring gear... even if the manufacturer stated just that very thing themselves...

Plus it's not like there's a history of Jeep/Dana doing more than the typical implementation with the Wrangler for the D44 Advantek.. hmm...
...so yeah, forget things like larger & thicker axle tubes & larger Cs plus unknowns like axle shaft diameter, and instead focus & worry about that 2.75% difference in the ring gear size that even Dana says is not an issue.
