Instead of changing it, just have it welded. While you are doing so, weld in some extra bracing and support so that it doesn't crack again, and you will probably never have to do it again. They are notorious for breaking.

I agree just fix it. Make sure you get it square and true. I would also recommend setting it up per Btheviper recomendations. It takes a little time, but you will like the outcome.

re weld and brace it. i think i still have the bracing diagram i made when i did mine if you want. when i did my skid i tightened it up with new bushings(pioneer performance sells a rear skid bushing package) drilled and taped grease fittings into the lower w arm mounts and installed bearings in the front shock. then set it up the bethevipers set up. i would highly recommend doing those modifications to the skid, and set up. its like a whole new sled!
