67 Chev 12 bolt differential

My 67 C10 currently has 3.73 rear gears, has a 250 inline 6 and 3 on the tree. Looking to change the rear gears to lower rpm at higher speed. I'm told if I go lower than 3.55 I have to change the carrier also. Anybody have any knowledge of this?

Thanks...

I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong ,but sounds correct. My '67 12 bolt has 3.08 gears. I can only go up to 3.42 ratio.
I believe there are 2/3/and 4 series carriers?!

I wish you lived closer, we could just swap rear ends and save each other a boatload of money haha. There are different series of carrier, and if I remember right 3.73 is the tallest gear for its carrier but somebody will chime in that has more experience
