Only you know just how bad it is, but are you sure you need to replace the rear end.
All it did was roll down the hill before coming to an unexpected stop. I wouldn't have thought that it had enough momentum to wreck the rear axle assy' unless it went over a cliff. (once had a 4x4 do just that, not pretty).
Maybe check your chassis alignment, if it really is that bad, the shock will have travelled right through it.
As you look to be doing the work yourself, I would look to buy a whole car for spares. You are bound to need a heap of body panels, and you will soon recoup the cost on all those small bits.
