Hi all. With the stock Dana 30 front and 35 rear, I'm looking to add skid protection and not sure on just added skid plates or new covers or a combination of both. My question is, however, I see in the catalogs the gear oil fill holes are raised higher than stock, for added fluid levels. Is this really better and makes the gears last longer and if it is true, why would the manufacturer say the proper level should be 1/2 " below the plug hole and not fill 'till it runs out unless it would just leak away especially in the Dana 35 w/rubber plug?
