Default dana 30 pinion play?

I have about a 1/2 inch of free play in my ring and pinion, is this normal? I can turn the front driveshaft about a 1/2 before it make contact with the teeth.

Default I think its ok

I have a 90 limited and my front drive shaft has a little play when you spin it. I thought something was wrong but I checked Enders 89 laredo and he also had the the same bit of rotational spin play in his front driveshaft.
