You are talking 2 series and 3 series carriers correct?

a 2 series 3.73 gear will not fit a 3 series carrier. Too thick of a gear

If I'm not mistaken, you will either need to switch to 2 series carrier, or get 3 series 3:73's. One or the other. Probably cheaper to just get different gears.

This is correct, a 2 series in say a 3.73 would take a much thicker gear than a 3 series carrier. A lot of old dana D60 have a break over at 3.73 too and even the 30 year old GM 10.5 corp 14 bolt has a brake over at 4.56 to a different carrier too. The theory is that with a thicks gear there is a greater chance for the case to flex or distort under load than with a thin one.
