-Oh no I picked a side-
Nothing wrong with that :awesomework:
I've got the front 60 shaved and ready for the 5.38's (which are on the bench) and then shaving the rear and gears....some where in there I have to assemble BTF DIY covers....oh yeah and hydro assist because my arms were killing me at the hammers

-Oh no I picked a side-
Drive toe and coast heel--I would work on your pinion depth more. Also the drive side is pretty narrow from the pics...
glad I still have all those arb shims....maybe I need a break and make another move....what you can't see is that the pre-load is not quite what I would like either....my back hurts

Ya but your still on the heel of the coast(drive) side bill. Leave the backlash(for now) and work on pinion depth
it was the carrier that didn't have enough pre-load...fixed that...checked...pushed the pinion in .010...it bound...took out .005 and still tight...took out .002 more and it is at .004 backlash and the pattern is about the same
from what I have read these gears are rejects from Yukon...so I will take what I got....
and my back is really sore now

Have you done this before?...You shouldn't be doing anything with preload until it has a good pattern......You can get step by step directions from Randys that are prety good...:awesomework:
yeah...done a lot of them...all types
for about 5 years I narrowed axles and set up gears for money...never had one fail....which is nice
here are leftovers from a few I have done that are still following me around
I have tons of shims for 30's, 35's, 44's and 60's so do my own I never buy much besides the gears...
out of the 60 can
I still have set up bearings for 44's and 60's
this is how I mark them to shave...I think its pretty cool

I did a writeup on that process about ten yeras ago.....I wonder if I can find it?......
Seriosely though. Your writeup makes it look like you've never done this before. May want to go back and edit in some better information....

At second look it looks like you paint the diff then use thinner to remove the paint?.....Just use paint in the drain pan then remove what's painted. White paint works good.:awesomework:
