Buy Lucas they are the best... NO ADDITIVES they are a waste of money IMHO. I would buy 4 quarts total. Just fill till it comes out the drain plug. HTH.

RTV for the diff cover too.

Sweetness. I was gonna go with Lucas anyway. I have one quart in the garage, just gotta pick up 3 more. And I'll RTV the diff cover and put a little around the head of my butt plug.

Be very careful with that because it makes it difficult to change the batteries.

Did you do anything to rotate your diff back down after your lift? If not it will reduce the amount of fluid it will hold.

I ask because the Chryco 8.25 does call for 4.2 pints of fluid which is a hair over 2 quarts.
