The carrier holds the ring gear and the spider gears inside your Jeep's differential. Wrangler JL, JK and TJ and Gladiator JT owners may need a new carrier when changing gear ratios, since some ratios require a different carrier, or when replacing a damaged unit.
This category includes open carrier cases for Dana 30 and Dana 44 axles and limited slip options such as the Yukon Dura Grip. Carriers are matched to axle model, spline count and gear ratio range, so confirm all three before you buy. A carrier swap is also a good time to install fresh bearings, so many owners order an install kit with the new carrier.
Shop carriers from Yukon, Dana and Mopar. For more traction, compare lockers, and grab an install kit for the swap. Enter your Jeep in the vehicle selector to narrow the results to parts that fit your model and year.
