Default Axle Seal

My front axle is leaking gear oil out of the passenger side, im guessing this is the axle seal??? Im runnin 35s and want to run 37s, should i use this as an excuse to get tougher axles??

Yup. If you baby it a 30 will hold 37s unlocked but I doubt you want to coddle it.

just change the axle seal, they have no bearing on axle performance. they should not leak under load unless you bend your axle tubes, then you have more issues then just a leak. i run 35's all locked up on my HP D30 and have never had any issues. i also run stock shafts. never broke one yet
