With my 4/6 my pinion angle was 3* pos, the drive shaft was 1* pos. and the tranny was neg 3*. The driveline would hit the crossmember when spraying, so I shimmed it with a 6* shim toget the pinion neg 3*. Helped a lot with traction too. With your drop, I'd guess around a 3 or 4* shim. If you can get an angle finder, harbor frieght has them for under ten dollars, you can find out what you'll need. My 6* shim needed a new centering pin, so you might want to start with a 3* or 4* shim.
