Default replacement 6 speed trans for my 5speed?

i have a 95, and i haul pretty heavy. 1st gear is almost to high taking off loaded, and 5th gear is a little to low at 70mph(4.10 gears of course). i know they made a 6 speed, is this compatible and how hard is the swap? what year would be best? thanks, any other trans options??? i just bought an 01 automatic but i think i'm going to keep my 95 manual and still keep it working for us. thanks in advance!

Do a search on this site... I think Joe has posted a link to a 6 speed swap in a thread before... If you can't find it, I'll try to get you the link.
