Would it not be better to leave the fill plug out? Otherwise, you would have to roll the car over. Not a bad idea though. Would make suspension work easier.

I didn't meant he new drain plug...I mean the stock one up on the top. I guess it's a fill plug though...not a drain plug.

Maybe I'm looking at the wrong plug... I'm seeing a plug on the rear of the diff, angled off to the passenger side and has a red plastic tag reading "LIMITED SLIP" . I assume that's on the newer axles?
