Default Rear differential help

Hi,
I bought RAM 5.7 differential 9.25 with new ring and pinion (have about 700 miles), but not twisted nut on pinion. Now mount new all bearing and want adjust correct differential pattern, but it looks weird. Can somebody look on photo and write something advice.
Pinon shim 0,026" BL- 0,010






Pinion shim 0,023" backlash 0.008

Still looks like not enough shim to me. Your also riding near the outside edge. Is your back lash in the middle of the range?

78 looks good. In the middle. Look at the picture of 95. See how the pattern move toward the bottom.

Your Pinion depth is still shallow also back lash should be .006-.008, i just ran into this same problem adding a set of 4.56 from G2, i just about went nuts until i contacted their tech support and they set me up with a guy from the 4 wheel drive shop
