Setting rear end angle

So I am getting to the point of fabing up my Explorer 8.8 rear end in my '49. This is my first rear end fab - I was wondering what angle you set the pinion at? I was under the impression 0 is what you want to set it at under load.

I was going to put the seats and lowering blocks on, bolt everything up and put it on the ground and then rotate the rear end until I hit 0 degrees.

Just wondering if this is the correct way also.

Thanks.
