I have a Dana 30 lunch box locker installed in a carrier already but the carrier has a 4.56 ring gear bolted to it my question is can i leave the locker in the carrier and just unbolt the 4.56 ring gear and put my existing 3.55 ring gear onto the carrier with the locker in it?

Any body

SeriousOffroad

No.
The carrier break for a dana30 is 3.73 and up.

Jeepjunky

ya that, u will damage the locker

SeriousOffroad

No.
The carriers are different for those ratios.

So should i remove the locker from the 4.56 carrier and put it in my 3.55 carrier?

SeriousOffroad

Yes.

If i have 3.55 gears do i have to pull the whole carrier out?

Not sure what locker you have huh?
I can see about copying my spartan instructions for you tomorrow morning, or just write up a step by step for you...
I'm getting help installing mine cause I'm too much of a pansy...

SeriousOffroad

No,
The cross shaft should clear the ring gear easily.
Simply remove the cross shaft and then remove the locker in reverse order as shown in the installation istructions.

It really would help if you were to provide some more info too. Not knowing the locker you have makes it tough to provide better info.

No, wtf, no. This is your chance to go 4.56 gears, regear the rear.


I had to, to put the aussie in my front diff.
