Swapping rear axel

hi wondering if anyone out there can tell me how hard it is to swap a ford 8.8 into the rear of my 99. how much stuff would I have to relocate on the axel to make it work.

Its really easy mountainoffroad.com sells a kit to do it and there are lots of ways to make the ebrake work the brake lines bolt up and all you have to do is get it centered set the pinion and weld it in but the driveshaft will need a flange which they also sell the tv show trucks on spike tv do ab 8.8 swap on there project cheep cherokee
