I have the SUV listed above with a 3.73 rear end. The limited slip clutch went out and I cannot find a kit to fix it. So can I put in spider gears that is for a non limited slip or do I need to get a new carrier?

Good morning.

I found both the carrier and just the clutches for replacement. I attached them both at the bottom.

I suggest replacing the carrier. If you have never done one of these before with the clutches, it can be a real pain.

I have seen the carrier assembly for the limited slip but it is more then I care to spend. The non limited slip is cheaper and I do not need posi. Would I need a new carrier to install non limited slip spider gears or can I use original?

You can use the original with the clutches installed, yes.
