Do you have an open (non posi) diff? If so did you see my additional post that for an open diff you need to leave one tire on the ground, raise only one tire and make it go round twice. This is because with an open diff your tires will tend to turn at different rates if they even go in the same direction so it's not possible to track the revolutions of your carier, unless you anchor one tire turn the other one twice this will rotate the carrier by one turn. With a Posi it's easy because everything turns together.
