I believe the tail shaft housing and main shaft need to be swapped out to 4x4 units.
The bell housing is the same for a 2wd or 4x4.
I think I saw a Getrag complete 4x4 case with some internal issues on the 1st gen classifieds right here on DTR in the past week or so.

Some guys love the Getrag, some the NV.

Unless you are beating on it, or aren't comfortable building the 'Rag, I would probably stay with it.
