You may also want to check your tires. This is a bit unrelated, but I
have a 9" Ford in my truck with a lock-rite locker. Normally going down
the road it never made the ratcheting sound that it makes when going
around a corner. Eventually I started hearing one ratchet click every
once in a while as I went straight on a paved road. I had a rear tire
low on air, and the difference in tire diameters was causing the
ratcheting. Aired the tire up, and the ratcheting stopped.

I've seen all of that too, but none of it seems to be part of the discussion
here. That is, the OP hasn't raised any of those issues. Except for you
creating troubles where troubles do not exist, the carrier is not a problem
here.

I'm not sure how arrive at "people like me." I made on pretense that
upgrading the axle fixes all problems with a rear end.

PS
The D35 is nowhere near being bullet proof under any condition.
