    Your profile thing below your avatar says 3" lift. What size tires are those?

    That's a perfect stance IMO

    16x8 Eagle Alloy 100's... -20mm offset, 3.5" backspacing IIRC


    Today I got them wrapped in brand new rubber... 265/75R16 Goodyear DuraTracs

    Took them home to mount them myself so I could clean up & paint the hubs. ;)

    Actually I already had 3" lift in rear (maybe just slightly under 3") Which leads me to believe that the OME's gave me a little over 3" in front, guess I'll know when I get it aligned this week

    Badass, those 883s (and tundra shocks) did work up there! Still kicking myself for getting 881s instead of 883s haha :rolleyes:

    Soooo anyone have a guess as to why my front diff breather is leaking? I regeared and switched to 85-140 back in August and I've looked closely at the engine bay since then to know it's not from over-filling the diff.
    I noticed the leaking when I was in Colorado over Thanksgiving and it's been doing it ever since. Guys at the shop put a hose clamp on it, but it obviously didn't help. Not sure why they thought that would fix the problem.

    :confused:

    Remove the breather and put it back on. What can happen is since it's a one way valve it can draw up the oil. What I was told to do after the roll anyways :notsure:
