No, I've got the stock gearing all around and it is pretty bad. I can use 5th at ~30MPH on flat ground, so at highway speeds it is ridonkulous. I am still on the original clutch (at ~163K) so I don't know if I will be able to justify a final drive swap. Both 4th and 5th are "overdrive" gears but with a 4.31:1 final drive, it is wasted.
