Yes after more reading on transfer cases I find that they are typical between 2:1 and 3:1. The numbers I gave were my guess of how much higher my RPMs are at a given speed in my pickup when in low, but I have no tach so it was pretty much just a guess.
I've never really had much use for 4-low in reality, but if you leave the front hubs unlocked and lock it into low it makes backing a trailer with a manual trans much much easier, especially if you're backing into a tight spot.
I'm going to do some research on adding a second transmission, most likely backwards. If I could find a 3 speed that had 1.25, 1, and 0.75:1 ratios and hook up straight that would be great, but I doubt such a thing exists.
