The extra clutch plate is in the transfer clutch which is on the gearbox, not in the rear housing. You would have to change the transfer gear with the clutch drum attached, then set the clutch plate thickness to suit the clearance for the clutch piston.

As you are increasing the torque capacity for the clutch by reducing the final drive ratio, it is not worth doing.
