Yeah, I sent them a message to see how much shipping could cost. They do drop yours, or at least they want yours as a core.

Speedway has one of theirs in their "garage sale" for only $199! But the king pin bolt hole was drilled wrong, so you have to drill another hole and put a "locking bolt" into the pin to hold it. I don't like that, so am looking at the dropped OEM. Yeah, I am seriously thinking about dropping my IRS front end and just bolting in the dropped axle and or springs. I find 2.5 dropped springs but that's not quite enough for me.

Yeah, with rebuilding the IRS, I am thinking I won't be much ahead of just spending the dough on the dropped axle.
