Default Do I need a new carrier for dana 30 going from 3.73 to 4.56

Hi, my 4.56 superior gears should arrive tomorrow. I just want to make sure that the carrier in my front dana 30 will be ok with those gears. I heard that people who have 3.21 gears need a new carrier.

I have to take a ferry to get to the mainland just to have my gears installed so it would really suck if they tell me the carrier won't work and they don't have the right one.

My guess is that those who have 3.21s need a 3.73 carrier for their dana 30. I would like to confirm that tho. Otherwise what carrier would you get?

I had to change the carrier on my 08 dana 30. I went from 3.21 to 5.13. Call David at Northridge he can set you straight.

I had my 4.56's installed last week, going from 3.21's, and needed a new carrier up front.

Good to know. At least it looks like the carrier is inexpensive.
