i need to use a ring gear spacer in order to have it work at all? or just in order to keep them quiet? or what?

don't even bother, just get the right gears, if they make what's called "thick" 3.42's I dont know if they do, but I know i made the same mistake with mine and got standard 3.73's when I need to the thick 3.73's to make it work in my 2.73 rear end.
