SEARCH. Several threads already said about this. IOW, yes it is doable, yes it is easy, and a parts list is contained in the SEARCH.

My friend installed a GXL suspension on my SE while I was out of the country. The cost varies, but should be under $500 USD if you use good used parts. It's probably better just to buy an entire chassis because that way you also get the better brakes along with everything else already put together, as well as a bunch of other spare parts, but you could also pull the necessary parts from the junk yard if you can't find an entire chassis. It is much easier to change out the entire rear end assembly, rather than changing the spindles. Just remember that the TII rear end will not hook up to your driveshaft, so it will be easier if you use a non-turbo donor car. BTW, while you are at it, you may want to consider new bushings, although they are not very cheap and are rather difficult to install.
