8 3/4 setup / thoughts on wear pattern?

[Twalker]

Looking for your thoughts on this pattern…new gears and pinion, all new bearings and races, new sure grip, crush sleeve eliminator.

In my opinion it looks like the pinion might be a little too deep.. (toward the toe on the drive side and heal coast side).. increase the backlash? maybe being picky.. ha.

This is with .005 less in pinion shim, thoughts?

Here's where I ended up while setting up my 3.23/8.75 back in 2018. No noises or issues of any kind.
Check your FSM for good examples.
