Pinion is too deep. Try a thinner pinion shim.

Yep. Deep. Pull some shim out. Essentially you're shooting for a more centered oval pattern with a softer/smaller edge towards the bottom. Check out gearinstalls.com for a ton of examples.

Thank you guys for your help. I removed .009 of pinion shim and by looking at the links provided I think I got it. Would you guys agree?
