This is what i found out Just encase anyone else does this
The spacer willnot work on a sers 3 Carrier with the stock gears 241 Its a Thick gear so spacer wont work
the sers 3 takes a Thinner gear Summit has a richmong gear 323 for the sers 3 Carrier that will work and will keep me Prety much the same as far as my speed there part # is RGM 4900441

Yea, the thick gear, or the spacer, is used to install a 3.23 up ratio gear on a series 2 carrier.

If I remember correctly, the 2.56 ratio is where the so-called dividing line is, requiring a different carrier for higher ratios.

In a stock form the 7.5" series 2 goes up to 3.08 ratio.
