its within spec but yes the range is .008-.015, so you are on the high side. i wouldnt worry about it too much but if you have some pinion shims and a new crush sleeve and the time i would try to get it a little closer to .008. remember that after you get the pinion depth correct and get the backlash set you should put atleast a .004" shim on each side of the carrier especially if you are putting new gears and bearings in it.
