I want to do this. I dont know how to weld, but I have a buddy that can weld like a ****. I'm going to try and amass the parts to do the swap. I know I'll have to mount a torque arm, and I know ill have to do some cuttin to the axle tubes. But, what all in all is included with this swap? How can I keep traction control/ABS?!

Far easier to do an 8.8 conversion. Do a search.

Why would it be tho? you have to cut the axle tubes, and mount a torque arm onto both of them. Maybe finding an 8.8 would be easier...
