3.73 gear pattern question

[NickT179]

Howdy, I’m working on rebuilding my rear diff because the carrier bearings destroyed themselves and wore out the gears. I’m new to the forum, but I’ve been working on cars for a while. Never had to rebuild a rear end though, so I’m not really sure on gear patterns. This is the pattern I’ve gotten from using the factory shims. Any tips on if it’s alright or if I need to adjust it? Gears are Yukon 3.73 diff is a dana 35

That will run just fine. I would you are maybe 1-2 thou deep but it's still acceptable.
