My current build truck was 9deg from the factory(engine and diff)..although I changed it to 3deg when I did the engine/axle swap
.....from the pics it looks like you need to raise your carrier bearing...you need to do something with the crossmember...
Maybe I'm wrong but I think it's a negative angle when the pinion is pointed up and that's how I have it, so when I say down I mean negative angle pointing down towards the back of the truck.

Thanks for the options, but whether I go one piece or stay two piece I'm going to have to put a big loop in that trailing arm crossmember.
