Capital letters, proper punctuation, spelling, and complete sentences will probably get you an answer better than the confusing mess you posted. No, there's not a suitable 3.50 carrier assembly that will fit your torque tube setup unless you buy Patrick's 3.55:1 ring & pinion setup and retro-fit your gears.

Sounds pretty harsh but you are on a technical oriented sited asking technical minded guys to take time out of their day to answer your questions. And you don't have time for proper punctuation?
