Default worth it? axle

so i got a friend who is selling his doing a 44 swap into his xj..selling his old rear end.

the axle is a 29 spline 8.25 out of a 99 with 3.55s, his xj is a 5 speed.

now has zj disc brakes like new
riddlin diff cover
new pinion seal and axle seals

just thinking about it. idk id either have to re-gear my front or pull a new one out of the junkyard. i just put in a new rear end half a year ago out of an xj with 99,000 miles on it so i dunno

he wants $350 for it. thoughts?
