thick gears or new carrier?

[desertrat67]

I am going to go with 5.13s in my burb. It is a 60 front and 14FF rear. I have the 4.56 up carrier for the 14 but only a 4.10 and under one for the 60. is it better to get a new carrier (which I think would have a thicker mounting area for the ring gear correct me if I am wrong) or go with the stock carrier and use thick gears?

Actually the mounting flange is moved it a little, I think.

There are no thick gears for a GM dana 60. Your choice is to either change the carrier or there is also a ring gear spacer. I chose a detroit locker in the lower gear set.

I have thick gears (4.56's) in my 14bff and they have been fine for about 4 years now.
