    I pull over 80k out of the field in low range then shift up thru 5th gear hit the clutch, pull the transfercase into high and shift down to 4th. If you shift fast (which is the point to keep your rpm up) you can have a couple hundred more rpm than you would just shifting 3 to 4th in high range...
