     You have to be patient for someone who can answer your question see's it and can respond.  It depends on what you have in the pumpkins. 
     Are both front end and rear end open with no lockers ?  Do they have factory gov-lock type or after market ?  Before you take suggestion from others make sure you give as much information as possible so we can give you the correct advise.  Nobody hear wants to give you the wrong advice and have you destroy something by accident.
#1: The easiest and most obvious solution to any problem is 99% of the time correct.
#2: There is no such thing as impossible, it just takes longer.

It all depends on which one you think tastes better ;)

GL5 is fine unless as bake74 said, determine that you need more
