You will need to go to a bigger carrier. You can however reuse the spider gears from the original carrier.

By the way, I made the same gear swap and have been very happy!

If I recall correctly you will need new carriers. From what I've read of parts descriptions the carriers are listed 3.73 and numerically up, or 3.21 and numerically down.

New carrier unless you want to upgrade to a locker (ARB/Detroit)...
