Well we will see if its that easy or not? Oh and one more thing about where the driveshaft and diff connect. Isn't there like a bearing or something like that I have to get pressed on by like a auto shop or something? TIA for info

Look at the older posts in this board, I just installed one with help from guys on here. You need the shop to press on the exciter rings from your old axles (if you want ABS/TCS), the bearings for C-clip eliminators, etc.
