Front axle swap Question

I have a 1987 Jeep XJ rear axle is a Dana 44 with 3.07 gears. I have a manual and the 4.0 the front axle is a Dana 30 if I wanted to swap a Dana 44 in the front my research says, "You can use a TJ Rubicon Dana 44 front axle from 2003-2006 (the years the TJ Rubicon was produced) on your 1987 Jeep XJ with a manual transmission and 4.0 engine, as the TJ Rubicon Dana 44 is a direct fit. The factory Dana 44 front axle in a Jeep TJ Rubicon typically comes with a 3.73 or 4.10 gear ratio."

My question since my Dana 44 in the rear is 3.07 which gear ratio will work with my rear axle gear ratio wise or does it matter?
