Default Reverse cut?

So I have a High Pinon dana 30 with 3.55 gears... Im looking at the 4.56 THICK cut gears so I do not need to buy a new carrier... but how do you tell if you need reverse cut or standard cut gears?

High pinion axle use reverse cut gears. You can tell if your axle has a high or low pinion by looking at it, high pinion at the top of the differential, low pinion is at the bottom of the diff.

You will need another carrier to go to 4.56.I THINK anything over 3.73 and you need a larger carrier.For the dana 30 anyway.
