Swapping carriers

I tried searching and couldn't find much. I have a 95 cherokee with a dana 30 and 3.55 gearing. I found a nice condition 99' axle with 3.07 gearing. Whats involved with swapping the carrier from my current to the new one. Reason why Is my carrier has an aussie locker in it. Thanks in advanced.

What's wrong with your axle that you need a new one? You can't just swap carriers. You will have to re setup gears.

You can just swap the aussie over without the carrier

Blew the passenger side shafts by the u joint and damaging the outside of tube as well. Axle already had rusted through coil buckets. So I guess I'm best off finding right gear ratio and just swapping the locker over?
