Yeah, you'll need a new carrier for 3.73 and up. I just had to buy one for when I swap out to 5.13s from my 3.21s. I bought an Aussie locker too. I cant wait to get this shit put in.

Like I was saying before sorry it was soo damn confusing my fault.. I originally had 3.21 gears and when I swapped over to 4.56 I had to pull the front driveshaft axles and gears in the front and cap everything because I didn't want to by a new carrier that would work for the new gears when I knew I was going to be installing a locker in the front. So what I did was I had just Installed the rear gears with the locker in the back and left the front empty for a couple weeks until I could get the locker.

This is true although being at the point where I all ready had everything taken apart and out It was just easier to leave it taken apart and cap everything to save time when I did have what I needed for thew final install. So let this be a lesson learned the 3.21 carrier wont work with anything over 3.73
