A 14 bolt is easier but a 10.25 isn't too bad, when you look for an install kit, try to get one with a crush sleeve eliminator, it will be easier to set up that crushing the sleeve, which can be difficult. There is so much more to think about than I can articulate here, you really need to do some research on setting up a diff so you understand everything you're getting into. for a trailer queen it doesn't have to be perfect just need to get it close...
