Measure the driveshaft and and the yoke angle. Then get shims to get the yoke to match the driveshaft.

Yep, that's the best option.

You'll want your pinion to point directly at the t-case output.

That would be pretty much inline with the DS correct? I just got my SYE installed and will hopefully be picking up the correct DS today, then i have to worry about the pinion angle.
