Default Varilock Axles?

I have a 95 XJ 4x4 with AX15 Manual. I have an opportunity to get my hands on a set of D44/D30 axles with Varilock diffs. Id imagine that Ihd have to change the shock and spring mounts on the rear, maybe the front. Other than that, any other issues I should expect? I have ZERO experience with these diffs so, any info would be appreciated. Im looking at about $250 for the set. Is it worth it?

It would be a lot of work to swap in and you will be getting a weaker high pinion Dana 30 front and the Dana 44 rear has an aluminum housing. The Varilocks aren't that good anyway.
