US Gear O/D???????

I have been giving a great deal of thought to an O/D aux trannie. I have ruled out the Gear Vendors because I do not want to have to think about which side of the trans I am in before using my ebrake. Soooooooooo..........I am trying to gather info from US Gear owners/users. My DEE/4:10s are perfect for towing but I have run over 5,000 miles in less than 30 days and half of that was bob-tail. As always, I need 1 more gear. (As a side thought, I am getting cold feet about the new 4 door. By the time it is available, I will have over 100,000 miles on my truck. Besides the 5 grand I have spent making it the way I want it, I'll take it in the shorts when I try to sell a 2001 with over 100K. AND, being that I am trying to semi retire in 14 months I am looking at the fact that my 2001 will almost be paid. Hence, thats why I am considering an O/D unit and just keeping my truck........I like it!)
