Just purchased my axle from the rear end shop in my town, instead of getting just the housing for $225 on the internet im getting a complete axle for $400. I know not as cheap as some might have got it but this was the only axle in my area. Pictures when i pick it up in a couple hours

sorry you had to pay 400 for that, but i guess its all in the area you live

you can save a little by using your steering linkage,

I also forgot you have to relocate the shocks on the axe so they will mount into your factory coil buckets.

I'l snap some pics of it tomorrow for you.

Lol you think that's heavy! My super duty axles a bought a couple weeks ago had to be unloaded with my John Deere 7810 loader! The front was probably 700 pounds with the leafs
