Changing gears from 3.08 to 3.73

My car currently has a 3.08 traction loc and I have a set of 3.73 to put in it. Does anyone know from experience if I have to change the carrier or just the ring and pinion?. My car is a 302 fila thunderbird.
Thanks
Scott

Its a good idea to rebuild the trac-loc while your in there.  Oh, and I hope you love the smell of gear oil and friction modifier because it will be your new cologne.

Traction lock. that's the code on the inside of the dash anyway. Even though there is no hitch and stuff.
Thanks for the info guys. Now I gotta get them installed.
