Manual Locking Hub conversion kit?

Anyone know of any company who produces a manual locking hub conversion kit? I know Downey used to and I was gonna buy theirs but they went under before I had a chance to get my hands on it. I've done a bit of research and everything I come up with just another company that has gone under in the last year or so. And I really don't feel like having to build my own hubs from random scratch parts. Any suggestions welcomed.

In case you wonder why manual locking hubs, I'm putting air locking diffs in and jacking the front end up more than the 2" recommended maximum lift height. I really don't want my entire front drivetrain spinning full time.

The hubs wont affect the Air locking diff, since operates as an open diff when not turned on (engaged). If you read through the classifieds there was a guy last week selling his Downey kit and going back to ADD. A few things to also be aware of, the CV's are different for Manual versus ADD and the Man. one are weaker. It has to do with being notched for the C-clip that holds it in.
 
you might try finding a set of tacoma spindles, hubs, and cv's in a junkyard. thats what i did except i had the hubs pressed out, bought new bearings, and had them pressed into my fabtech spindles.
