If you put any spacer on the front side between the gear and the bearing block, you will increase the bending loads seen by the 3/8 pins. I like to keep the gear weldment right up against the bearing both front and rear. I had to shim mine after a year or two of flying after some fore/aft movement developed.

Bryan,
