What kind of gear oil for 8 3/4? Why not synthetic gear oil?

Mopar guy here uses REDLINE shockproof and has also used royal purple, but says Redline is the stuff!
Chrysler recommended that if u do heavy towing to change to synthetic in the 02 ram w/ a dana . That tru trac flat wouldn`t hold in a ford 9" in my 406 vega w/ 14 1/2 x 32 slicks on it , ended up w/ a full Detroit locker. jfyi
