No, definitely not. The Rubicon's rear LSD is not clutch-based so it
doesn't need it.

Unfortunately in my experience the dealership parts guys are wrong. Most of
the time. Last time I needed info I just walked to where the mechanics were
and asked them. btw no additives in yer diff! :)

Good advice Mike!
I dug up my owners manual and it does say to use
a friction modifier for the Dana 44 with Trac-lok.
I also have a FSM for my older 01TJ and in it, It also says
to use a friction modifier with the Dana 44 with Trak-lok.
Not sure why a lot of people say it doesn't need it, when in fact
the manual says it does.
Gotta order a FSM for my 05TJ Rubie to remove all doubt.
Cheers
