Rubicon Locker in a Ford?

I have the opportunity to pick up a low mileage selectable locker from the front axle of a 07 Jeep Rubicon Wrangler. I know that it came from a high pinion Dana 44 in the front just like our half ton Fords. But when I went to the parts store and had them cross reference the differential bearings they came up with two different part numbers. So does anybody know what the difference is and if there is something that can be done to make it work in my axle?

Oh, and I’m posting this in the Truck section and the Drivetrain section so it will have more eyes on it. I’m kind of on a time line.

Joker I'd wondered the same exact thing! Those axles are selling for $1400 complete. I can't get the ring/pinion changed here for that price, muchless with a selectable locker. But I can't answer the question since I'm not sure about axle widths. I'm pretty sure some of the bracketry would have to be swapped out. Here's hoping for an educated answer!
