Yes it looks heavy but both axles on the pallet weighed in the very low 900# range so without pallet let's say 425-440 on average each. It's a very common rear axle to use in back for SAS's but not as common to use for both front and rear. Their origin is from HD trucks.
The 14 bolt axle was originally from chevy/gm in vans, HD trucks, and the suburban. As I mentioned in first thread, the foundry who made these has closed so new ones are hard to find if not impossible. However hope shouldn't be lost as there's still the junk yard, which is not as easy as it was in past. Now I've discovered the new Ford super duty trucks are using a new 14 bolt which I suppose is sourced from AAM. No idea with Chevy and Dodge use in back today on their HD trucks.
