I don't think there were many changes to the suspension on ZJs so a D44a Zj swap should be pretty straight forward. You'll get more strength with that axle, but not as much as a TJ D44. i believe all the ZJ D44s were the aluminum version if I remember correctly.

found this on jeeptech.com ------------The ZJ Dana 44 is the only Jeep Dana 44 with an aluminum differential housing. It is also a C-clip axle with one piece shafts and a 5 on 4.5" wheel bolt pattern. Because of the aluminum housing and C-clips, it is not really any more desirable than a Dana 35c. The shafts are 30 spline. so i shouldnt spend money on that i guess, dam just cant win lol

You will need a second passenger side soft brake line, and either buy the adaptor kit for the parking brake cable, or do a search for the hardware store loop and clamp fix.  The brakes are the easy part.
