before the crawl my junk needs.....

Holy cow really? Last I checked they were close to $200, but then again I won't need brakes or anything, I just put brand new Wagner stuff on mine a couple weeks ago

Yeah. There's a different price for a "complete" axle. If memory serves I beat the brakes and hubs off it in the yard to make it "incomplete" and cheaper. Didn't bother me as they were items I would be obviously replacing anyways.
