What degree shim should I use

I have a 95 XJ with 231 T-Case and a 8.25 rear end. I'm going to set up the suspension with 3" springs and 3/4" lift shackles. How many degrees of shims do I need to buy to set the pinion angle correctly? I know I can check it with a guage after the suspension is in, but I want to buy the shims first and do the install all at once. If you're running a similar height, how many degrees of shims do you use?

I'm going to use a SYE and TNT belly pan. A T-case drop would cost me ground clearance.

in that case you will not need any shims. the sye kit will take care of any vibes u might get. 3" is not enough to use shims along with a sye kit. the sye kit is good enough.
