I put Royal Purple in the front and rear. It did help the stock rear diff lock engage sooner and it did hold a little longer before it would 1 wheel when boosting.

I used amsoil in front, rear, and transfercase and very happy that I did. The 4x4 system is not as pronounced as when I had the stock fluid. I changed the fluids at 30,000 miles.

I am not a big fan of RP products.

I see very little reason to use a thicker weight in the front.
