After you put the tranny together, it would be in 2nd gear.

Moving the shifter forward - away from the drive train - would put it in 1st gear (slowest).
Moving the shifter backwards - towards the drive train - would put in in 3rd gear (fastest).

The semi kit includes something to lock the tranny in which ever gear you want - I didn't see in hilift manual but I could be wrong.

speedemall, the faster the top speed of the truck the higher the gear you are running it in.

You do not need a stick radio to see what gear you are running in. Many three channel radios will show what gear you use. Be it from the physical position of a 3 position switch or a display showing the "position" of a digital input dial/switch. I will give you a for instance. I use the Futaba 3PK with my High-Lift. The transmitter's display shows the third channels position at all times, thus telling me what gear I am running in.
