As long as it's a 14b Full Float 10.5 carrier it'll work in any 14b Full Float 10.5 axle housing.

I don't know FF's axle codes. That's why I spin a hub and count pinion yoke turns.

prev owner said it has 4:56 but im thinking otherwise because if i turn the back wheel 1 time the drive shaft turns 4 times or vise versa plus i found my differential to be a open type

So that would be 4.10's and that's huge for you becaue if you decide to go with those 3.21's, then you can use that same carrier, since 4.10 is breaking point. 4.10 can go taller gears, 4.56 goes lower gears. But, you sure that's open diff? Normaly on an open diff with one wheel on the ground, you'd get a spin of 2 times, and have to multiply by 2 for the spider gears riding on the stationary gear. If spiders aren't riding, then you'd get the 4 turns, but spiders not riding usually means a posi or locker. Some locking diffs like G80, will count like an open diff too. Nonetheless, you know you have 4.10's now. 4.10 was the most common, some 3.73's and 4.56's were rare by 75 but could be ordered, and maybe could have been standard too on a C&C.

If i spin the back tires in grass only the passenger side spins but on aspault it will make the tires beg for mercy :grd:
