unless youre doin some heavy haulin, i would go with the ranger. its the simplest to install, and offers the ability to "twin-stick."

....You sure about the 20 mph thing? To quote Gear Vendor on the subject of extreme offroad use:

"..... overdrive is rarely used but the gear-splitting aspect of overdriving 1st and 2nd are huge performance gains."

For the non-hardcore off-road user, they suggest the kit that attaches to the rear of the transfercase......because it's easier to install. It's here where they reference their in-between kit. To quote Gear Vendor :

"Fact is, when you are in 4X4 there is very little desire to use GearSplitting and overdrive unless you are racing (and we do make the in-between kit for that purpose), it's 2wd where the benefits of overdrive and additional gears are most needed. All our kits bolt directly to the rear of the transfer case and are electronically locked out during 4X4 operation."
