Im getting 4.88 ring and pinion kit from G2. I was wondering if i need to but a carrier and spiders for the new set or could i use standard carrier and spiders..

For what axles? Dana 30, yeah you need a new carrier

skeeter11

Why do you need a new carrier?

dylan91xj

yeah well 30 up front 35 in rear

ComancheMJ87

Stock carriers are for gears under 4.56, you need a 4.56 and up carrier

ComancheMJ87

i actually dont know about a 35, i've never messed with one...but im 100% on the 30

ComancheMJ87

Just looked up the 35, and yes you will need one for that too! Spider gears are okay stock though

dylan91xj

yeah well there welded and im on 35 so im gonna get a assie for both and in the future get chromly shafts

but like what about the carrier doesnt work with 4.56 or up gears?

All the Dana axles I can think of will need a different carrier numerically above 3.73. They don't all have the same break point, but any Dana axle will need a narrower offset carrier for a 4.88

Hoooper

are you really 100% on this? Cause the stock carrier split is 3.73 and down, 3.74 and up. 4.56 gears would ride the same carrier as 4.10 gears and 4.88 gears. 3.73 gears would ride the same carrier as 3.55 and 3.07 gears.

If you're currently running anything below 4.10's you will need a new carrier.

dylan91xj, Why would you throw away good money on gears and lockers for a Dana 35 axle?
You can buy a Chrysler 8.25 from a Junk Yard for 100-150, it is a direct bolt in and if it is a 97+ it will have 29 spline shafts and be something worth spending the money on to up grade.
