Pinion angle?

Before I set the pinon angle on my truck, I had did quite a bit of research and everything I found recommended setting the trans angle at -3 degrees and the pinon angle at +3 degrees to get 0 degrees on the drive shaft.

I have a 1997 Ford Explorer 8.8 rear end in this also.

Here is an image of my angle with the truck on the ground (on just roll around tires, not the ones I will be running).

As I look at that angle of the driveline and my pinon, it doesn't look level at all. This weekend when I drive home to work on it, I am going to re-check the angle of the transmission and the pinon, but I am 99.99% sure the transmission is -3 and then pinon is +3 degrees.

This angle looks a little off to me, but I wanted to get your guy's feedback. Does it look okay?
