Cool How much diff fluid?

ok im gonna be doing gears and catback on my 94 soon and was wondering if 2qts of diff fluid was enough? i seem to remember the guys at my dealer using 3 bottles whenever they would have to do differential repairs i know they also used 2 bottles of friction modifier so ill also be ordering another bottle as the kit i ordered came with 2 bottles of royal purple and one bottle of Motorcraft friction modifier
