suggestions on setting the diff angle with the driveshaft

On my 88 Bronco I just installed a 6 inch pro comp stage II lift with 4.5 inch Pro Comp (im guessing) rear leaf springs. they came with no information or installation instructions and i wasnt sure if i should use the stock wedge spacers or just the spacers that were attached to the leafs themselves in between the leafs and the rear end. I used the spacers and now the diff is aimed higher than the transfer case by from what im told is too much. As it is the front is sitting higher than the rear and if I remove them then the back will be even lower. Nodoby that Ive talked to in Winnipeg has had a clue about this and have been sending me around everywhere. So what I want to know is how big of an angle can the differential have when it meets the driveshaft or does it have to be perfectly straight and all the angle at the transfer case? Also should I probably take out the stock wedges and will it be right or can I have new wedges fabricated for the height I will lose?

Any oppinion appreciated

im pretty sure you have a cv in the rear, so you want there to be no angle at the pinion for no vibration...remove the stock wedges and see wut it puts you at...
