Straight Axle

I have an 87 F150 with a 5.0 litre 302 in it. I am putting a dana 44 out of a 79 f150 in it. I also want to put the ford 9 inch in the rear, and put a rear disc brake conversion kit on it. I have a 4 inch skyjacker lift on it with a 3 inch body lift. What do I need to make this work quickly and easily. I am a pretty good mechanic, I do all of my own work. So I jsut want to know the minor details of this project. anything will help
