Thanks for the advice and I will definetly be contacting Globex to get a quote and get things rolling. I really appreciate your help...any idea of an estimated cost? Or what gear ratio would be best?
I believe they charge $250 an axle if I remember correctly? Call him up, he'll help you out. As far as what ratio, thats another sore subject here as all the "pro's" will come and chime in. 4.88 would seem ideal, but heck - what do I know... I'm just a JK-Forum member....

No worries man I know that seems to be the case many times. However I'm not going to switch to a 6 speed it's brand new. If I ever do anything drastic it will be a HEMI! Haha maybe if I hit the lotto. Thanks for your advice tho
