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.
