The carrier you have now will only take a 4.10 ratio or lower (3.07). If you want to run 4.56 or higher you have to find a 4.56 and up carrier.

My front D60 had 3.55s with an open carrier. I recently regeared it to 4.88s reusing the carrier. I believe they call it the "thick gears" that can run with the shorter ratio carriers. Verify this with a gear company, but that is what I did.
