If the bolts were loose it would look like some one was trying to cut threw them from the staps moving around on them.
From what I just found it sould be atleast 0.5 degrees minimum and no more than 3.5 degrees maximum

How much did they lower the bearing.
Have you made sure your driveline was timed right 1 tooth off makes a lot of differance some slip yokes has a double tooth so you cant get it out of time.
This is what I would make sure your driveshaft is straight install ujoint take your time and make sure the locks are in correctly.
Make sure your carrier bearing is in good shape and your driveline is timed right.
Make sure your slipyoke slides freely. Tighten everything up.
Now check your slipyoke for slop side to side to up and down same with carrier bearing.
Test drive it if your satified everything above is correct and still have a vibration try moving your carrier bearing back to stock location (make sure you still have enough splines in the slipyoke check again for slack) drive again.
Also make sure your vibration is driveline related your big tires sometimes cause vibrations feels differant but I cant describe it.

Think about this if somebody went to the trouble loosen the bolts cut them with a chisel and tighten them back up you have really pissed off somebody. Are you completly sure your caps fit that new yoke correctly.

if your drive shaft was floping around thats what made those marks i had a u joint break and it beat the crap out of my fuel tank and banged up my bolts that hold the u joint to the rearend and bent the peaces that hold the u joint to the rearend all to hell.

From looking at the angle out of the transfer case and the angle at the axle pinion I also agree the carrier bearing has been lowered to far.
How far is it from the bottom spring in the spring pack to the top of the spring perch?
That looks like a standard 4" F350 block to me.
