Yeah, shipping is a &$^$(, I spent $110 on shipping for the rear end I bought (full rear with axles though)...I wouldn't have done it except for the 31 Spline Torsen differential and nodular case that attracted me. There is a serious pucker factor when your waiting to see if you got junk or not when the price gets up there. I even live close to a pick-a-part, but I've just been getting used to parts showing up on my doorstep. For some reason my pick-a-part doesn't seem to have many 9" rears anymore. They must get picked through during the week.
