i would set the backlash, considering the back lash has nothing to do with how the gears bolt up to the carrier itself. even if you use the pinon set with the same ring gear and center diff unit once before. each housing itself might be a tiny bit different, hence the reason you set the backlash to begin with. if every one was the exact same, theyd just drop in everytime and bolt up and be perfect with no adjustments required.
