Default Drum to disc brakes

2000 ram 1500 4x4. Is it possible to take the same rear end off a junkyard truck with disc brakes and bolt up to my truck? Or would a full conversion need to be done?

Did the 02 and up 1500 use the corporate 9.25 axle? I thought they went with some other brand???

From memory, the first of the disc brake rear axles (02?) has to have the spring perches moved to fit earlier years.
