2500 conversion to DRW

Bought my truck because it had on it what I wanted except cab lights and wantedt to buy before the new 6.7's with the EPA choke hold came out in the chassis-cab version. I want to install a utility bed on my truck but would like to install one for a DRW truck because of the extra space gained with the bed. Has anyone ever converted a 2500 over to a DRW version? Of course the bed is of NO concern because I am switching it. Is it better to install DRW adapters to the existing setup? Are the adapters a quality conversion?

Is the change simply changing the rear end and springs? Any help out there? Besides trading or buying another truck......smart *****'s.
