Pinion depth is the biggy to worry about as for back lash as long as ya got some you will be fine . If you have done as many rear end set up as i have over the years you would know what i am telling you . If ya want a fun rear end to set up do a 10 and a quater Sterling in a ford with out the set up tools and people complain about doing a Dana childs play My old 88 Ford 350 ate the startor ring for the anti lock brake and for some reason it had to go thru the ring and pinion And why would i want to pay some bone head at the dealer to do it for me well that was at 70000 miles and when i sold the truck with 287000 miles of trailer pulling it was still going strong . My one buddy had the pinion bearing go out on his 766 and we could not get one so i put a ring and pinion out of a used 806 and set it up to the new specs and adjuted the back lash and that was 25 years ago and two engines and a T/A later and still going and sounds like a new one .
