 Subject: IFS to Straight Axle Swap

Message:
Anybody here done a IFS to straight front axle swap on a 4X4 Dakota? I have a 96 Dakota 4X$ Sport 3.9L automatic. All stock. Making some plans though. I have seen pictures of people putting Dana 44s from a late '70s Ford Bronco under the Dakotas and was wonderring if anybody here had. If so, anything extremely difficult about it? Just anything that I might not have thought of.
