Default 8.8 carrier

Does anyone know if the stock 8.8 carrier needs to be upgraded when changing gears from stock to 4:10?

No.
I went from 2.73's to 4.10's a few months ago and used the same parts except the bearings (got a Richmond kit) and had the traction lock unit (posi) rebuilt.

nope you can use the stock trac locker for 4:10sthe only thing you can't do is change the spider gears from 28 spline to 31
