Default Jk d44 locker swap in xj d44

what would it take to swap in a stock jk air locker from a d44 front into an xj d44 rear. Both are lp. Would I need to do the jk gear swap? Is it even worth it? Ive read up a little about the locker itself and it seems to be a decent locker. There is just about zero info on the swap.

I believe the JK has 33 spline shafts and the XJ only has 30 splines so it won't work, unless you can find some 33 spline axles that will fit.

this is an 07 and its definitely 30 spline. I counted them lol for this exact reason. I thought they were also. I’m not positive that the 07 jku front 44 used thicker gears. I haven’t looked at those yet.
