Drive shaft angle ???

I was hoping someone that has a mega cab might also have a " angleometer" if that's what it's called.

I need to know the angle of the drive shaft between the transfer case and carrier bearing.

I called the dealer but, they don't have that info

that would work but, I need someone to do it. The reason I need this info is, I installed a custom adjustable carrier bearing bracket. I didn't check the angle before I took it apart. I can make the two shaft straight as an arrow but, the shaft is question has to have some angle to it. I just need to know the angle to I can adjust accordingly
