5 to 6 spd swap

I am thinking of buying a 6 spd to swap with my 5spd in my 96 2500. I am also going to buy a hd transfer case. How hard, or is there anything special i need to know before trying to tackle this. I am wondering if it will be pretty much a bolt on system or not. Anything i need to know before i do this?

This truck is going to be used for pulling so i would like the better tranny.

Also does anyone have any pics of pulling hitches. I am thinking about buying enterprises hitch but i would like to know what it looks like. If you have a enterprise hitch please show a pic.

Chris
