Ok, so I am most of the way through setting up my 4:88's in the rear 44 of my 08 sahara. If you are a pro at this please take a look at my patterns and let me know if you think I need to adjust them any. I would really appreciate it. I am asking because so far it has been too easy. I used all of the stock shims and only had to flip the carrier shims from one side to the other to get my backlash in spec. These are my numbers so far....

I have a .0075 backlash reading.

Here are the pics of the drive side patterns...

 

They were both taken on the same adjustment... I kinda feel the same about less pinion shim but wanted an opinion. Its a PIA to change that one. I went with the factory pinion shim for a starting point. I do not have a pinion depth gauge. The only way I am going to be able to set these gears is by measuring backlash and checking the pattern. As a ROUGH guess, how much do you think I should reduce the pinion shim?
