Stronger rearend?

  Does anyone have any experience with putting a stronger rearend in
a Dakota? Maybe a Ford 9", or... ? (I don't even know what's available)
I'd really like to put the 1 piece driveshaft and the rearend from the
club cab R/T in my Dak; I've got the feeling it'd fit, but I think the
new style Dakota is wider than the older bodystyle (I've got a '96),
so the wheels would probably stick out and look pretty dumb. Another
issue is that I haven't found a price on either the driveshaft or the
rearend for the R/T.

  I'm guessing changing to something like a Ford 9" or a Dana would
require new axles, brakes, etc...?

  What kind of costs am I looking at for something like this?

Thanks!
