Not an option for the D30. Was once available for a very short run, but if I recall that was for the CJ style low pinion D30 without crush sleeve. And that was about 10 yrs ago.
A carrier is only 75$.

I already did mine but wasn't sure if there was anything available if folks were doing it in the future and wanted it on the cheap.

5.13 in a d30, The pinion gear must be smaller on the gear side than the nut side!

I think it's the same size as a 4.88 I believe as they had to change the ratio or something around to be able to accomplish it without the pinion getting smaller

Is this an issue?
I personally have seen and wheeled with a few times, a TJ that is more capable than any other rig I have ever witnessed on 35's, that has a D30 high pinion and a Dana 35. It has 30sp front and rear with a e-locker rear and Yukon Grizzly rear. 35" MTR's. One of the First non race car, designed and installed Savvy / Blaine suspension systems. And have seen it climb vertical ledges that no TJ XJ or WJ has, on 35's. This jeep has done all the "nasty" trails in Johnson Valley (Known as the Hammers), except backdoor, so far.
He has never broken a gear set. He has twisted 4340 rear axles a bit, and has worn out the joint area on front, over the last few years. But this rig is regularly on the Hardest of trails that California has to offer. Twisting splines on only a 30spline shaft on 35" tires is kinda expected.

Really tho, the 35 is still a POS. You can put a bunch of money into it, but it still a ticking time bomb. If the op is capable of setting up gears or at least considering it, I'm sure he's capable of putting in an 8.25 or something.
