Pinion angle clarification

Pinion angle clarification
I measured my pinion angle the other day (I think). The driveshaft was pointing down 4° towards the ground, and the pinion was pointing up 3° towards the body. Would this give me a -1° pinion angle?
My setup is 2" shackles and 2" hangers, with 2° shims fat end forward and the carrier bearing moved up. There is a slight vibration during acceleration. I'm thinking of replacing the current shims with 4° or 6° shims.
Thanks.

for something thats so easy to adjust, its such a PITA to figure out the right way of measuring it and what causes vibrations. I have a vibration around 70 and once I get to 115 I have to let out because my low traction and ABS lights come on and the MPH starts bouncing, I held it once and it snapped my output shaft housing from the vibrations. and after a year of trying to get the right answers I STILL have the vibration and its making me want to sell the truck!!!
sorry I hope you figure it out and have better luck than myself
Ive been told best for traction is -2 to -3. I cant say since I'm confused as to how to measure mine .
someone should do a HOW TO and take pics of every step
