The issue with the carrier is that the Ring gear won't fit the carrier for
taller than 3.73s.

All those drugs you did as a kid are starting to catch up with you. You had
to replace the carrier or the 4.56 ring gear would not have fit.

That seems to be the consensus! :). If so, I should still have the old
carrier in my pile of Jeep parts. When I get over this head cold and the
outside temp gets above 20 degrees I might go search for it.

By the way - no drugs for me, my friend. Drinking heavily used to be the
routine though, especially during my college and military years. The good
old days!
