I can't imagine going from 3.07 to 4.56 without needing a new carrier in any
Dana axle. I believe any ratio 3.73 or lower (lower meaning 4.10, 4.56,
etc.) needs a new carrier, even in something that old. My TJ's non-reverse
cut D30 sure did when I went from 3.55 to 4.10... but I kept the same
carrier when converting from 4.10 to 4.88 earlier this year.

Jim,

Yes, I saw Bill's list, and believe it to be absolutely correct -- that you
will have to replace the carrier in most cases. But I'm also sure that
replacing the carrier is not necessary if one is to also install a LockRight
at the same time, since installation of the LockRight replaces the spider
and side gears that live inside the carrier. These new LockRight spider and
side gears are specifically for a given gearing.

Taking out the stock carrier, I removed the 3.07 ring gear, removed the roll
pin & cross shaft, dropped out the old spider/side gears, bolted the new
4.56 ring gear down on the stock carrier, installed the LockRight into the
carrier (with the new spider/side gears), reinstalled the carrier in the
D30, and all was well.

Thanks,
Terry.

Jim,

Yes, I saw Bill's list, and believe it to be absolutely correct -- that you
will have to replace the carrier in most cases. But I'm also sure that
replacing the carrier is not necessary if one is to also install a LockRight
at the same time, since installation of the LockRight replaces the spider
and side gears that live inside the carrier. These new LockRight spider and
side gears are specifically for a given gearing.

Taking out the stock carrier, I removed the 3.07 ring gear, removed the roll
pin & cross shaft, dropped out the old spider/side gears, bolted the new
4.56 ring gear down on the stock carrier, installed the LockRight into the
carrier (with the new spider/side gears), reinstalled the carrier in the
D30, and all was well.

Thanks,
Terry.
