Dana 60 Back lash ?

Ok, heres what i have. I just installed a new set of 4:10 gears in a Dana 60 front axle from a 78 Ford F250 4x4. Back lash is supposed to be 6 to 10 thousandths. Now i currently have it 5
thousands. Would this be ok, if my gear pattern looks ok or should i increase it a little more.

Thanks
David
