It's come up before I know, and seems to affect JL's generally, but a lot of folk have reported their JL's coming from the factory with up to a 1/2 quart needing to be added to get it to the fill port level. Given the amount of power we're putting through these t-cases it might be worth checking yours. Mine was "only" 4 FL OZ (~2.5%) low: whilst not as bad as a 1/2 quart low, it's still not an insignificant amount of fluid given that alleged t-case fluid capacity is around 2 quarts.
Dead simple job - about 10 mins total. Took me longer to find the top up plug than to top up the fluid. You'll probably want to have a quart of ATF4 fluid on hand and a pump to get it into the t-case. You'll also want some high temperature thread sealing tape for the plug when you put it back. I used a small wire brush to clean the threads before taping and putting it back.
