Default Rear End Smokeing

I recently installed 4.10's in my rear end and the work was done by a local shop. I took my car out for a spin today. and I did not hear any irregular noise while driving. but when I got home I noticed an irregular smell so I looked at the rear wheels and there was smoke coming out from underneath so I looked under and i saw the whole Rear end what looked to be steaming. the smoke was whitish and did not have any burnt odor to it. does anyone know what could it be?

Thank you
