If you can get the complete rear end, it's just a matter of disconnecting the brake lines and unhooking the shocks and springs, driveshaft, then swapping them out. It's a couple hours work once you get used to it.

Once the new axle is on, bleed your brakes.

A complete rear end swap is much faster than a gear swap.
