Ok so I've got a 10 bolt with a 8.5 inch ring gear. I bought a detroit LSD and a summit ring and pinion. When I went to set the pinion depth I was a little puzzled. I have a depth tool so I'm good there but when I put the pinion in the housing with no shims it was still to close to the ring gear. I don't remember the exact number that it was but for example the number on the face of the pinion was 2.500 and when I put the pinion in with no shims it was 2.590. I don't know what could be causing this. Any help would be awesome and thanks in advance
