How much you have to do to the D44 depends on what vehicle it's from. You will probably have to redo the perchs, you may even have to narrow the axle. Why not just use a Toy axle, the D44 isn't any stronger.

Either way you'll need a high-steer kit. You just replace the stock arms on the axle with the new ones, then install the rest.
The Dana 44 may not be any stronger than the TOY rear, but the front eliminates the problems of the birfields.

You don't need to hysteer it as long as your steeting is setup for crossovr - which is should be. The hysteer is nice, but not required.

You will need to narrow and move the perches - most likely. That'll depend on what you buy and what your current spring width would be after the SAS. You can outboard your spring perhces to match the Dana 44, but then you're running full width with is typically 65 - 67" WMS - WMS. A stock Toy solid axle is only 59"
