This pinion angle guidance is not applicable to stock drive shafts.
Also, watch your springs and track bar. a higher pinion angle will cause the springs to bow quite a bit. A lower angle may push them into the track bar.

^ and why wouldn't it ?
You still want the lowers to center the axle, which leaves the uppers for pinion angle.

For the bowing, a cheap easy fix is correction wedges. Best way to do is cut and relocate the perches.
