Was literally about to suggest this. Prob best dropper for the money. I’ve had zero issues with mine. IMO it’s just as good as my two other big name brand droppers that cost 3x as much.

Who makes an offset dropper?

This is a recently-released solution for the “offset dropper”. Not inexpensive, though.

If you go their route be sure to use a virgin shock pump to fill it. If your pump has any oil in it from venting a rear shock it can foul the brake (expanding collet?) within the dropper.

I'll chime in as another one who purchased a PNW Loam to stand-in for a Thomson that was in need of service. It's still on the bike and the Thomson is still in the box. There is a very helpful calculator on PNW's website. The SC/Juliana site may say how much drop in the details.

While you may be able to go a little crazy figuring out if you can fit a longer dropper like a 150mm without it being too high at full extension, I'm willing to bet you have a 125mm and will want to stick with it.
Shorter frame, shorter rider.
KS makes several. They even have one made of carbon which would be perfect if it's going on your Walmart bike.

Guessing you have a v2, v3 just came out.
Unscrew the bushing and throw some slickolium in there. It'll be smooth as new.

What's the insertion length and does the cable barrel connect at the lever or post? Seems they may have changed the design from V2 to V3. Yeah, if you can install and have a shim to 30.4...
Is this still available?
