Default driveline angles

http://s1275.photobucket.com/user/da...8f2eb.jpg.html

Not sure I am doing this right, appreciate all the help

the numbers I got are 6 degrees down tc, 16 degrees down on the driveshaft, pinion 5 degrees up, everywhere I look I am told to aim the pinion directly at TC output which would be 11 degrees which seem excessive OR am I missing something?

The rear double cardan joint shaft looks like it is stretched out to the limit which makes me a little nervous.
Now I have another question I hope someone can help me with?
Here is the measurements I got using an angle meter, can you tell me what degree of shim I require? and please explain to me how you got the measurement?

The pic link doesn't work, and yes the pinion should point directly to the transfer case.

Mine is 2 degrees under. Because when it's under load, with the account of axle wrap, it points zero.
