I am really torn on that style AM dropped axle or dropping the original. It's much cheaper to go with that AM one like CPP has. And it "could" be better, perfectly made with todays technology it may be better than a worn out old axle. But damn it's a hard call.

I am now seriously thinking about scrapping the IRS that I had going, when I add up the parts to rebuild it, it's getting right there with the cost of the dropped axle with new springs and hardware. And it would be MUCH less work, I am thinking..................
