Default 2007 escalade ext manual t-case swap/ 4x4hi on pavement 24/7 fluid choice?

swapped in a 2012 gmc 1500 manual shift transfer case into my 2007 escalade ext,

I'm going turbo but sprayed a 100dry out of the hole and shattered the bw awd transfer case,

I broke the 10bolt and already swapped the 14bolt sf in, did chromolloy control arms and stainless brake lines ,


my plan is when I'm playing around the street and the track to go 4x4 high... almost all the time


also thinking of swapping my 3.42 to a 4.10 or 3.73... but might stay 3.42 for some wicket boost pulls... I'm running a almost 33 all terrain on a 22" that's about 10-11 wide lowered 5rear 4front with a notched frame rail

for the case swap it was easy... but gota change driveshats mostly because I'm lowered 5inch and swapped the 14bolt in... running a adapter ujoint out back, but thinking a larger driveshaft might help vibration,
also gota extend my front driveshaft apx 1.25inch

so what do you guy think leaving it in 4x4 high on the street I'm running a 32.5x11 wide tire lowered and they are agressive.. on a 22 with a crap shot blocker out back

the plan for t-case fluid is to slightly overfill(d-max guys do it when they run atf because it evaporates a bit, they do 1qt extra via the speed sensor)

I'm going to do just a 1/4 qt overfill or maybe a bit more of either 5-30 synthetic or syncromesh or?? idk what you guys ink

I'm going to run atf in the cold but I figured it will be getting hot if I leave 4x4 high on pavement...
opinions? 5/30, 10/30, syncromesh, manual trans fluid? lucas synthetic oil stabilizer? what's best for running a chain case in 4x4 all the time on the street?
