Are you referring to 1/8” on both bolts or just 1? I’m just shimming the outside bolt to pull it closer to the ring gear. I fear adding more shims to get it closer is going to give me mounting issues, I’m at .10” and need even more shims still. Hard to find information on shimming towards the ring gear instead of away.
