Looking For Gear Pattern Input

[Morks]

Finish this bad boy up you have it dialed.

Got her buttoned-up going to get some Barnes brackets welded on tomorrow, and the 35" km3's came in. Pretty good day.

Had to wait a bit, but just ran my first pattern on the dana 30. This is 6 thou backlash. Thinking slightly deep?

That looks pretty good. I would try to open the backlash to .008 and have another look.

Will do I will loosen it up a tad and post a picture momentarily.

Isn't exactly 8 thou, more or less 7 ish.

You are the tiniest bit deep but for a front I would run that no problem.

That's what I figured I will see if I can take 1 thou out and if so I will do if not I have no problems running it as well. Appreciate the input, time to get all the new steering components put on, and time to slap these 35's on, oh, and that thing called break-in!

Took the jeep out for the first test drive today. Axles were cool to the touch after a couple of runs and made ZERO noises. Can't wait to finish breaking it in over the next bit and get it on the trails next weekend. Thanks for all the help!
