the only difference in setting them up will be the cost of the axles themselves. Unimogs are not cheap and even more exspensive to build. unless you are serious in to rock crawling where you need the extra ground clearance then i wouldn't waste your money.
as far as setting them up, it will be the same as any other straight axle. you're going to have to cut all the ifs stuff out from under your truck and plate your frame in the crumple zone to run leafs, or set up a coil type suspension.

That's not the only difference.
The Unimog axles would need a pinion conversion as well, Unimogs run torque tubes (fully enclosed drive shafts) so you'd need to have someone convert them to regular drive shafts as well.
