4L60E to 6L80E swap, can it be done?

Ok, since I just recently came out of a car that had a 6L80 in it, and I know the 2008+ trucks have 6 spds in them, what would it take and how difficult would it be to swap out the 4 spd in my 2007 GMC 4x4 (new body style) for the 6 spd box? Could I use the same transfer case, drive shafts and mounting hardware that I currently have in the truck, or would I have to relocate the trans support cross member and get a shorter rear drive shaft and longer front shaft to account for the potentially longer trans case? What about electronics for the trans? Would I require a new computer so that it knows I have 2 more gears now?

I know this would be expensive to do, but I was just wondering if some of the folks with more knowledge than I have about these trucks could weigh in and let me know if I am nuts in my thought process.
