Default D44 3.55 to 4.56 with locker... what do i need?

I have a d44 with 3.55 gears and a teraflex t-locker. I am wanting to go

to 4.56 gears and am wondering if my locker will work with the change? Do

I need a diff carrier?

I know if you go over 3.55 in a d30 you got to get a diff carrier. Do I

have to do this with a d44?


I have searched some but could not find exactly what I wanted so I posted this.

No. You will need to replace it.

Thanks for the quick responses and answers.

NOt sure that you cant use your same carrier. When I regeared my d44 I got a set of THICK gears. Not sure if they are available in 4.56, but I would check that before I gave up on that.

I would call terra flex and ask them. Or call the tech line at the gear manufacturer.
