Sounds like you were sent a set for a RWD application. IMHO, I would not use it. Make them send you the correct ones.

Unless you were running the front diff engaged all the time, using the original shim thickness on the pinion should get you close enough on depth. I haven't done many gear set replacements, so I haven't bought a pinion depth gauge kit YET. Got just about every other kind of tool. LOL
I usually use a dial indicator to set my backlash. You can also try the oem carrier brg shims. Might luck out. Did you buy a shim/install kit?
