Default IRS swap

I'm taking chassis fab at wyotech in the spring and i'm planning on an IRS swap in my '93. Any tips from someone who has done one would be appreciated. Also about how much would it cost using a used IRS?

Its not exactly a difficult swap. as long as you get all the bracket, it pretty much all bolts right in. the only thing you need to do is drill and tap two holes on both the left side and right side of the frame fot the upper part of the IRS to bolts in. I have personally looked into this swap myself. A complete IRS assembly can run you up into the $1k range, easy!
