Default Ring gear spacer on a 2 series carrier?

I have 2.73's now, and I really want to upgrade them.

My ideal option is to find a used, faily low mileage 3.23 or 3.42 4-channel rear to swap in, but I've been having no luck so far.

Someone told me I could use a ring gear to adapt 3 series gears to my 2 series carrier.

I was wondering if going with a set of GM take out 3.42's on my 2 series w/the spacer is a viable option?

This isn't going to be a track car, it's a DD and I usually go pretty easy on it. It might see the track 3 or 4 times this year, but I doubt any more than that.

Only mods are a lid and FTRA. Other planned mods are a catback and gears, and then later on down the line maybe a 3000-3200 stall converter.

Assuming I could find someone I trust to set the gears up, would that option work?

Thanks!

Thanks for the info!

Looks like it's best not to mess with the spacer.

If anyone has done it with good results though, I'd like to hear about it.
