I got the ones from Lowrange... I think they are the same?
They are good if you run 31 inch tyres on the road. RPM is about 4000 @ 100km/h
Excellent offroad, mostly drive in 3rd gear low range for most stuff, crawling is less than walking speed 1st gear low. I am currently selling a full 6.5 case fully built with home made kong style ring/protection.

If in the future you want help building a set let me know, I will help for nothing (well maybe a couple of beers), I have done 3 sets now. They are quite easy to do.

All depends on what you drive also.
If you drive mostly mud/clay, too much reduction will see you less capable.
If you drive lots of rock, reduction is the best.
