OBS to superduty axle swap???

My front axle gernaded the other night and I decided I gonna put 2002 superduty axles up my truck can anyone help explain to me what all I will need. I am going to 3:73 gears I heard the rear axle is a direct bolt on. But the front axle sounds like it will be more work??? Any help will be much appreciated!!

Don't know about the kit Carey has but just put a dana 60 in my 97. Everybody I spoke to advised me to get an axle from 80 to 97. Don't believe the nothin to it sayers. I helped the guys that put mine in, they had done quite a few swaps. There was alot of cussing and they had all the right tools.

if you get an axle from an obs 350 it will bolt right up no modifications. (ive done it) if you get a super duty front axle, the perches are wider apart
