Don't know anything about them, but I'll bump you back up to top, and maybe someone will see this that has experience with them.
FWIW the front axle set up shown on their website has spring shackles with the Lucky 7 dice logo on them. Was L 7 stuff any good? They sure didn't last too long, is this some of the left over stock being marketed by someone else?
Having used Lucky 7 stuff quite a few times on various customer vehicles (NOT by choice), I would warn anyone thinking of buying lucky 7 parts to stay away from them. Garbage quality and crap fit. Junk. Had one L7 dropped axle fail with less than 50 miles on it. Thankfully snapped at very low speed in a parking lot not on the highway. Could have been a lot worse. There is a reason that he is out of business.
I also am a Ford axle guy, now with that said I had a Lucky 7 "tube" axle setup on my Model A. I had this axle setup in the shop and used it because it was there and I wanted to drive the car that summer. I had no problems at all with Lucky7 and thought they were pretty good parts. That is in my actual experience and not what I have heard or someone else told me. I kept that axle and will have no problem using it again if the needs arises.
To my knowledge, only Chassis Engineering inc. offers aftermarket forged axles. I trust them, but I agree with using a OG Ford axle anyday! http://www.chassisengineeringinc.com/ford-forged-axle/
While I can't add anything about the vendor you asked about, you would be very much better served by going with an original Ford Dropped axle, BY FAR. To have this done to your axle, and if you don't have one of those he will furnish you the core as well. That would be Okie Joe in Oklahoma. His prices are very good as well with a 4" dropped axle going for $200 exchange and if you don't have the core axle he charges another $50.00. What you end up with is real Henry Ford forged steel axle. It is going to be damned hard to beat that. I have purchased axles from him for every project I have done and have always been happy. here's a link to his site: http://www.joesspeedshop.com/joesproducts.htm
No clue, but that's currently up on their website. FWIW, I think my shopmate bought a CE for his '36 and it looked nice... but he hasn't driven with it yet.
Sid's www.droppedaxles.com/ He likes to sell 32 axles. Joe's speed shop which is just up the road from Sid's, specializes in Model A axles and his prices are dirt cheap. Give him a call and talk to him or the wife. www.joesspeedshop.com Warren
Other them maybe a 32 Heavy original Ford axles are easy to come by and really affordable, I got a stack of cores and have never paid more then $50 for one. Having Joe or Sid drop it for you is very affordable as well. Even with shipping cost it's cheaper to get an dropped original Henry then an unknown quality aftermarket so I haven't built anything with anything else in years. Some guys around here just like the convenience of the 1-800 credit card I guess.
I bought a Lucky 7 dropped axle off evil bay (don't remember seller's name, would have to dig up paper work) and when it arrived, it was packaged in a So Cal Speed Shop box (WTF ?) as I did NOT buy it from So Cal. The axle has forged ends and is welded to a tube. The welds look like dimes stacked together in a row, nice IMO. It's still in the box setting on a shelf as I got the opportunity to buy a "real" Henry axle. Several months (maybe years) ago, there was a post here about forged axles, cast axles, even Aluminum axles. That OP was most entertaining to say the least. Anyway, the Lucky 7 axle looks good on the wall Sent from my SM-N910V using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
