I would suggest changing the entire differential for a 14 bolt with 3.73 or taller gears.
1. What is the difference between a 3rd member and an entire differential?

2. What exactly is a “14 bolt with 3.73”? I understand the gear ratio, just what car? I presume you mean an entire rear end from a specific car or truck? What years car or truck am I looking for?

3. Will I need to modify the rear end structurally, for example, adding brackets or supports?
