yes you can run 5.13s , and yes you can keep the 3.21 carrier if you run thick gears!

Glad to get it from Dynatrac (if anyone should know what works and what doesn't it's them), either way, it's not relevant to the OP as he currently has a carrier for 3.73's, so the carrier isn't the problem.
I'm on the fence between 5.13's and 4.88's when I get my new front d44. I'm leaning towards the 5.13's and sacrificing the gas mileage because i have the 2.72 t-case ratio with an automatic trans, so to get a decent crawl ratio I'm gonna either need 4.88's and a new t-case or keep the t-case I have with 5.13's. Also, I don't typically drive >65 mph during my daily commute, so the higher rpms aren't a real problem for me. Just my .02.

You guys realize that the difference between 5.13's and 4.88's behind an auto is only like 115 RPM at 70 MPH, right?
