yup, thats it. Unless you get a full carrier locker for the 44.
Also, make sure you get install kits for both.

You can get "thick" gears so you don't have to buy a new carrier assuming you arent going with an arb or detroit.

Also go 5.13 cause you will kick yourself later for not doing it first. I made that mistake.
