With everything you've done already, why not put a 241OR in it and have a true 4:1 lo-range?

Oh, well the 241OR will still fit with minor modification. ;) Shift pattern is the opposite but it'll work.

Why switch to a weaker t-case?

It will but you will need more then just the t-case.You will need the whole shifter assembly,shifter cable,and possiblly F/R driveshafts.
