you'd need a gear set to match your carreir, or a shim, or a carrier to match the new gear set, you have a 2 series carrier. i'd also get an install kit, solid spacer, and a new nut if it doesn't come with the kit.

Also find a good installer, because you sound like you are novice and this is not DIY job to be learning on.
