Default What degree pinion shims for a 4'' drop?

Guys I have an 02' RCSB 2wd Silvy. Rear is dropped 4'' shackle/hangers. What degree shims do I need to get the pinion angle properly adjusted. I think I need to do this cause I notice a light vibration around 70mph

I thought you could buy a shim kit with different degree shims to try.
