I was thinking longer yoke and have the other end ( if not both ends) of the shaft fitted with a bolt on joint to get that little extra strength.
You could get the rear D44 and wait for a Waggy D44 since that is driver side drop, common for 1st gen Tacoma SAC. I always thought flipping the axle was actually flipping the axle, normally with a 3rd member type axle, a la the Toyota 8", which can be flipped from passenger to driver. So long as you DON'T convert to a high pinion and rotate the third. You may need to cut and rotate the knuckles on the tubes though.
SUA to SOA is a Spring over conversion, no sense muddying the water with definitions of stuff that the OP wasn't asking about. And it isn't that damn uncommon, it's essentially what is done during a SAS and any coil to leaf swap on 2nd gen 4runners. Not to be taken lightly, but not to be discouraged if the proper skill set and tools are present.
Take a look at the Dodge forum over on Pirate4x4.com, they do all kinds of stuff over there, pretty knowledgeable guys.

Yes my truck has a 318 but idk about the gearing in it I am the second owner and it was already modified when I bought it but I think it has the 3.55 gears still. I have tried pirate4x4.com but for some reason it doesn't load right but I am part of the Dakota-Durango.com forum and they have all kinds of info for it including a useful a piece that the '09 ford f250 rear axles are 65'' hub to hub and fit perfectly and come with disc brakes which for me is a plus ( I hate drum brakes) and I'm sure I can find some of those in the junk yard.
