The H3's 4.56 ratio pinions are pretty small and there is a large lateral force created especially when in the adv low range. Couple this with some slip-and-grips and the loads get pretty high. Not sure if the ratech solid spacer and diff cover would help with the H3.

Is there an 8" or 8.25 front carrier that would work on the H3?

Even is slight modifications are necessary, that would still be better than the 7.25?
