Michael - there is a company in the UK that rebuilds transfer boxes that way:

Ian and David Ashcroft
Tel UK 01582 761081
Fax UK 01582 622131

They seem to have an excellent reputation for conversions to automatic, 
lockers, diffs, V8 kits and so on. Their high-ratio transfer case claims 32 
% increase on high only, and the last price I saw advertised was 280 pounds.
Hope this helps

I have heard of a place at Hervey Bay in Queensland that converts transfer
cases to have a better ratio on the highway. I don't know where they are,
as I was told I could have it done by my local LR spares place who could get
it for me.

The approx price was around $1200 exchange (don't quote me on that as I 
didn't get an exact price from them for it). If you want some inforamtion
it I can give you the company in Brisbane, otherwise a local one might know
about it for you.
