If you are talking about a 75xx you can't do HA with
MPLS in anything other than 12.0S or 12.2S.

I've said it many times already. 12.0S for HA right
now until SB comes out is the way to go on a 75xx.

If you want some 12.3T features you should be running
12.4 mainline because the throttles on 12.3T rebuilds will
stop soon as 12.4 is bugfix only now.
