Wish there was an iPhone app for ring gear pattern checks...anyway...
Factoids: Front Diff. Reverse Spiral Gear 5.13 ratio @ .007" Backlash, stuffed into 1994 Ford F350 front axle housing to replace current front JK Dana 44.
Was told by tech guy at Randy's R&P to concentrate on coast side pattern because it is a reverse spiral cut.
What say you?![Drum](https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/images/smilies/drum.gif)

Do you agree with the Randy's rep that on a reverse spiral gear the coast pattern is somewhat more important than drive side?

I am sure it's too late but everything I have seen says if you have a straight line on the bottom the pinion is too deep. Thoughts. Because looking at the pattern it seems ok.
