You prolly have the 3:07 gears in there now. If so you WILL need new carriers for the gears. I am a fan of too much gear rather than to little. I'd be going after the 4:56's if it were me.

thats what i was thinking. what would i have to get for a new carrier? a whole new axle, which would be great because i think i have a dana 35, or something else?

The "carrier" is the holder for the spider and ring gears that fits inside the differential.

If you are going to re-gear and need to change the carrier, I would recommend that you upgrade to a full-floater axle kit to eliminate the D-35 C-clip.
