Your carrier may either be a II or III series. That is what the ring gear bolts to. I believe 3.08 is the deciding mark, I think you have a series II. Anything numerically higher would be a series III. Randy

That's the way you would think it should be, but for whatever reason, 3.08's were also 2-series in the 7-1/2" & 7-5/8" 10 bolts.
Unless you are getting a new carrier when you're getting your gears, you need 2-series gears.
