8 3/4 gear setup

I'll be needing to do this soon once I get my 4.30 gears for my 489. Did my 3.55 489 case with crush sleeve eliminator and it whines so I obviously didn't get it set up right. Perfect excuse though to upgrade to 4.30 gears while I fix my previous mistake.
How did you mess that up? Curious....did you get a good depth pattern? Did the lash change when you tightened everything up ?
