I need to go 4.88's
What can I do about a carrier... can I use a lunchbox locker like Aussie as one? or do i need to look at another?

For carriers you're either looking at limited-slip units, Detroit lockers, or ARBs...besides a bare 'open' carrier. Your lunchbox lockers (Aussie, LockRight/Powertrax) replace the spider gears in an open carrier. If you need to change carriers based on gear ratio, you'll have to look into the carrier options, not lunchbox lockers.

you can get away with your stock carrier, a lunchbox locker, and a set of thick cut gears. that may be your cheap option.
