Adding Pinion Angle Shims - Tell Me If This Sounds Correct, Please

This all sounds exactly like what I described (or tried to) in my original post, so I will go with the 3 degree shims as planned. Maybe my post was a little sketchy, but I thought I included all the details. My trans angle is basically down 5 and the pinion is up 5.
3 degree shims should bring it to 2 degrees down from center at rest.
Thanks guys. I'll post an update when it's done!
