Did a lot of looking on this one. For a potential project once, and I would definitely say go coil sprung super duty 60. There's so much less work involved for so much gain. And I don't know what you consider expensive, but less than a month ago I had a dually Dana 60 from an 07 DELIVERED to my shop for less than $350. You'd spend that in consumables in what your going to do with all the rivet grinding/air hammering and drilling and cutting.
If you really don't want to hear that at all, from what I gathered, you'll be in for
-complete removal of all 2wd bracketry (4 brackets with as many rivets a piece) both coil buckets, and doing the same to the 4wd frame(6 brackets total) Drilling for hours. I mean HOURS. Brake lines are a little different, shocks are different, pitman arm is slightly different depending on the trucks. dragging the ttbs in and out (opposed to rolling around a 60, very much so easier) and enough hardware to bolt the rest of the truck together....
