driveshaft and pinion angles

I just got done reading an article over at airridetalk.com about pinion angle which was very good, but I'm still not sure about my setup. Perhaps somebody here can help. I'm at the point where I just set my ride height and want to do some welding on my rearend, but I'm not sure if the pinion angle is correct. Everything is still connected (rearend to driveshaft to tranny), so I took angle measurement of everything. This is at ride height: (I've got a two piece drive-shaft) The tranny points down 4 degrees, the first driveshaft points down 8 degrees, the second driveshaft points up 8 degrees, and the pinion points down towards the front of the truck 5 degrees. Is this OK, or do I need to change something?

Heres the link to that article if anybody is interested:
