I don't know what carrier I have but i know its wrong. I'm putting a 3.55 ring gear in. I was hoping someone else did this before. I only need to move it a 1/16 to 1/8 more I will drill a small hole (.050) to see how thick it is. I can turn it between centers,the same way mopar did. I'll pest results if I don't chicken out. I can only loose a sure grip I can't use Thanks for the reply Jim

so you dont know what gear ratio came off the carrier you are trying to put the 3.55s on ??

if you have a 3.55s that wont set up because of excessive distance between the ring gear and pinion then i am very very sure you have the lower ratio carrier and to do it right you need the proper carrier for that ratio gear or put a smaller gear( just like memike did)on it for now just to have a posi.

Or buy the whole shooting match(carrier with ring and gear) like i did. I suppose you could have a ring machined to shim out the ring gear but im not sure if i would want to or how that would work.
