You can install a TJ Rubi locker in a (non Rubi) JK rear 44.

I didn't think the fronts were interchangable.

Also, why put a low pressure air locker in a JK, when they offer an electric for yours? The electrics are more reliable in my opinion and you can wire around them. The air lockers on the TJ's require a compressor and a special pressure regulator for the switch. Be sure you get all the parts along with the locker!

The front TJ Rubi locker is much stronger than the rear unit.
