Reading the tea leaves (or is it starting a fight) about ring gear patterns..

I very VERY rarely pay attention to what the coast side is doing. You can drive yourself batty doing that. I get the drive side lookin right and let it ride. That said, IMO, you COULD go just a HAIR deeper on the pinion depth......maybe another .010" shim. But I'm not sure I'd yank it back apart for that. I might.
