I just put one quart of Red Line Shock Proof Heavy into my TR4 live axil, 4:11, 
Detroit Locker. One quart filled it right to the top. Does anyone over fill 
it?<br>
<br>
 I believe you could run an additional quart and still have half the air space 
although the axils would be floating in it.<br>
<br>
My air vent and tube is set very tall.<br>
