So I went with 3.73's instead. Have the 6speed out being rebuilt right now, hope the have it all together by the weekend (only time will tell).
Yeah the paddle on the center has to be swapped to fit in those tall gearson torsens. Although they don't tell you that you can grind/machine your current paddle down to make it work and not have to buy that peace but 3.73's are a good gear as well. I think 6 speeds can like with 4.10's and highway speeds though and keep decent fuel economy...
