Sure-grip axle swap

Hi folks.

Does anyone have any information on the MP sure
grip. I'm looking to change my one legger to
a 2 legger this spring. I'm thinking of one of
two options. I can buy the sure-grip unit from
Chrysler new and install it in the rear end.
Or, I happen to have a <10,000 mile Chrysler
9 1/4" complete rear (w/anti-lock) with sure grip
out of a 93 full size. I was thinking of having
the axles and housing cut down to proper size for
Dakota. I'm looking for some opinions out there
on this. I know the 9 1/4" has a larger 5 bolt
pattern. I already have a set of front rotors,
knuckle, and 4 factory AL. rims so that I can
install the larger 5 bolt all around. Yes, the
knuckle and brakes off a 2WD full size fit onto
the ball joints of a 2WD Dakota. (of course
braking is a little more agressive.
I like it. :-) )

Current Dakota:

1989 Dakota Sport 2WD, reg cab, 6 1/2 box
     3.9 V6, 3:90 rear(one legger), 235/75/R15.
     143,000 miles.

Thanks,
Jake
