D60 carriers

I've started the build on my F250 and I think I'm gonna go with 4.56 or 4.88 gears. It has 3.50s in it now I think. Will any D60 carrier work in the front D60 diff? I think I'll probably weld both ends right now, it will see VERY little street driving and I'm pretty low on cash

The carrier split is at 4.56, so if you wanted to run 4.88's most people would buy a new carrier. However, they do offer a different thickness of gears for a 4.56 & down carrier, that allows you to run 4.56+ gears.
I'm trying to remember the website I dealt with, they are good guys and give free shipping, not to mention the best price... When I find the link, I'll post it.

Will a rear carrier work in a D60 front? I'm gonna try to locate some junkyard carriers if I can to save some money.

Pretty sure they do, but don't take my word for it.

Call these guys, ask for help... They will be more than willing.

Thanks for the link RawPower. It looks like it would be easiest to just order thick gears to fit on the carriers I have already. I need to buy the gears anyway

To save money, you can use the standard gear with a ring gear spacer. I've seen people use them, I just don't know how strong they are. They are only a few bucks, so if you're on a budget, the spacer is an option.
