Hey yall, if going from the stock 3.45 to 4.88 gears will I need a new carrier for my front axle? I believe the axle is a m186. If so what carrier is everyone using?

I'd also like to know if going to 4.88s are new carriers needed for the dana 30 and 35 differentials that are stock 3.45?

And as asked above what carriers are recommended?

Thanks

So in case anyone wonders the same thing, a few people I spoke to said the stock gear carriers are fine for up to 5.13 so no need to try to swap them out.

Glad people on this forum are helpful otherwise I wouldn't do 90% of the stuff I do to my Jeep!
