Probably just fine. The key is your changing them.
I used Amsoil Severe ⚙️ Gear 75W-90 for both. Installed Ford Performance rear differential cover at the same time (has drain and fill plugs). I also changed transfer case fluid. All three were under filled from factory.

Yep that’s it. I like the look and the drain/ fill holes. Much sturdier than stock. $200 or so well spent.

I used this cover also. It will make the next fluid change much easier.
You can reuse the factory gasket so you won't have to mess with gasket sealer. Just don't over tighten so torque to spec.
Another vote for Amsoil although as previously mentioned, changing it is probably the most important part.

I used the gasket that came with the cover. No sealer used and no sealer mentioned in instructions.
