Default Rear End Setup ?

How many different settings are their when you set up a rearend?
Here's what I know, what am I missing? Trying ot decide if I want to try this myself.

1. You have to set the pinion crush washer at about 15 inch lbs
2. You set backlash by adjusting the carrier left or right
3. You have to setup up the clutch pack to the proper thickness or a little thicker.

What I don't know:
Is there any shimming required between the carrier and the housing?
What adjustment sets up contact pattern?

Will this kit give me all the shims I need:
