solid axle upgrade
Yes it will take a lot of time and money. If you dont have the tools or the skills to do it correctly it could cost around $7k even if you already had the axles. I had a 10.5 and D60 that I was going to swap but I bought them for $1900 with 56k and dropped another $2k in them.
Here's a link to possibly start you in solid axle swap.
