BW 9bolt 3.08 to 3.42?

Can i install a 3.42 ratio in place of my curent 3.08 in my86 bw 9 bolt? I remember a car craft article saying any of the 3.xx gears all used the same carrier,is this correct?
Thanks

This is really the only place that I have been able to find to get 9-bolt parts.

3.08 is a series 2 gear. 3.27, 3.45, 3.73 & 4.10 are series 3 gears for the 9 bolt. Hence, you will need to use a series 3 carrier and yours is currently a series 2.
