I have some 10 bolt 7.5 3.42's that I'd like to put in my 2.73 open rear. Is this what I need, a ring spacer? If so, who sells'em and do they come with a set of 10 longer bolts or can I use my 2.73 carrier bolts?

 

Come on now guys!

 

I've never seen the spacers for the 7.5 inch ring gear, just the larger ones. But I haven't looked very hard. I take it you don't have the 3.42 carrier. You should have no problem getting a 3 series open carrier from a junk-yard cheap. Or better yet, some type of limited slip/locker. Either way you will need to check how the gears mesh and your backlast, shim as necessary.

I've just always heard that if you wanna put 3.23s and up on a 2 series carrier you needed a ring spacer. Maybe I'm wrong or it's vise versa?

 

Someone!?
