Dropped Axles

Has anyone used one of the new dropped axles? I have access to Mor Drop to get my axle dropped on my 60 panel but i was wondering if the new ones are as good or better. Anyone with experience with them. Thanks for the help

Ive used the ones from Industrial Chassis on rods and they are as good if not better than MorDrop back in their best years. Industrial uses all new dies wheras MorDrop has been thru several owners and minimal maintenance.

is there any other changes that have to be made to the front end? does it alter the steering box and linkage in anyway? do i need to change the steering arm? i am hoping i can leave my stock springs and steering and throw in an axle. I am in a time crunch for a road trip so before i begin i want to be sure there are no other issues. Let me know what obstacles may be there. i know i will need an alignment and such. But hopefully no other mods. what has your experience been. thanks.
