to do a gear swap you will need a different carrier and of course the gear set,pinon bearings(inner and outer) and carrier bearings(2) talking about 300 plus dollars plus labor to have it set up. most shops will charge at least 3hr labor($70 an hr. at my shop)(unless you do it yourself)

I can see where a swap would be much cheaper or even buying a used rear with the gear you want?

depends on what you want to do.
