It's a lot more work than just swapping them out

There are tons and tons of threads of people swapping axles. Unfortunately not a lot here. I suggest you look at pirate4x4.com and browse around.
this is a great thread here. They are 44's but its the same idea

If you have to ask for a thread about it, you're probably not ready.
