The one from xterraperformance indicates their kit is for solid axles only, no rear independent suspension.

The offroadgorilla version may be the same.

I actually haven't really paid attention to the rear diff and if it comes with a factory breather. For whatever reason, I thought I remember reading an old thread by rrpogoa(sp?) that when he installed an ARB rear locker, he had to drill a hole for the air line and a breather? I could be wrong though and it was just for the air line. I'm suppose to be taking my rear suspension apart again tomorrow since I need to have the eccentric bushings installed in my rear uca to fix my camber due to the lift. While I'm under there, I'll take a looksee.

I saw that note as wel about only solid axle.
But I am not 100% sure that is correct.

The only difference I can see is possibly the breather nipple on the solid axle may be a difference size than what comes on an independent suspension diff.
