I am looking at doing the same thing. Probably is a good investment for safety reasons if nothing else. Are you going to be running slicks? If yes, definitely upgrade. I've heard dennysdriveshaft.com is a good place to start. He will prompt you for some dimensions that are a pain in the *** to get. Unless you get a moser 12 bolt then he won't ask many questions.
