you will have to go from 2 series carrier to a 3 series if you go lower than a 3.08 ratio(323.342,373) i would probably go to 3.73
there also ring gear spacers so you dont have to change carriers
i would also recomend a professional to set them up too!

If you get the SLP posi it has a 3 series carrier. So 3.08 and up gears. I say go with 3.73s most love them. Get a slp posi, 3.73s, and take it to a shop.

,pinion crush and backlash are critical!if not bad howl/ ruined gears are the result.
i like used gm gears as pinion depth if rear bearing is still on is pretty much right on then just pinion crush, backlash and youre there. i have some 3.73factory gm gears avail now if you want them let me know asap cause ill list them on ebay tonight.
well yeah, im getting it prof installed.. i was just trying to figure out indefinatly that all i needed was posi and 3.73, i was under the impression that i had to buy other things to make it a 3 series carrier....
how much are you asking???????

3.73 gears
ive been doing 125.00+15$shipping includes both pinion bearings as removed along with easier setup these are factory gm gears in good used cond out of a v-6 model so they havent been thrashed on ....yet. and gm gears are quiet! not like aftermarket
well,if it comes *complete* and all. and you are sure they are 3.73's beyond a shadow of a doubt, ill definatly get them.
itll be about 1 month though before i can get them, but i definatly want them.
what carrier are they???
and what exactly did they come out of???
