RE: Pinion Angle
most usally the pan mounting surface is parralel to the shaft.
The angles shown are just for referance to show how the front and rear angles should match.

RE: Pinion Angle
In case it is of any help
this 1998 TSB has a little on driveline angles:
http://dodgeram.info/tsb/1998/18-49-98.htm
note this section:
DRIVELINE ANGLE DIAGNOSIS Driveline Angle surge/vibration starts to occur at approximately 20 mph (32 kph) and starts to disappear at approx 60 mph (97 kph) and is torque sensitive. If using the EVA, driveline surge/vibration will have a vibration frequency of approx 24 - 84 Hz. Refer to the 1999 Ram Truck Service Manual page 3-3 for propeller shaft and u-joint driveline vibration diagnosis. The driveline angle must be measured. Follow the service procedures from pages 3-4 through 3-6. All measurements must be taken at curb weight with the vehicle supported by its wheels/tires. Normal joint angles for the Ram Truck 4X4 are 1-5 deg with a maximum of 1 deg difference between joints in a series. Driveline angles that exceed the 1 deg maximum difference must have the axle shimmed."
