You will need a front carrier. This would be the front carrier, http://www.4wd.com/Jeep-Drivetrain-J...n=D%2fS706008X

Make sure you get the spider gears with it cause I'm pretty sure that the stock ones won't work/ the shop you have do it might not know how to reuse them. Mine didn't and i had to wait 3 extra days to get them in

Just some food for thought...
If you are thinking of a Trutrac or Locker in the front, now is the time to do it. They replace the carrier assembly, so if you you spend money on a carrier and spider gears now, it will just be wasted money if you get a new diff later.

Are there different sets of spider gears for different dana 30 carrier sizes?
I'm opting to not go lockers right now, I just need gas mileage!! After the axle upgrades I'll go lockers, don't want to snap my wimpy dana 30.
