I would favor 3 degrees rather than 5 degrees. It depends on your application tho. Is this a street car or a drag car? If it's a race car that changes things. I'm setting mine up level to 1 degree up in the back since the engine it setting low. (Crank shaft 10 to 11'' off the ground). If it's a street car 3 degrees down in the back should be close. It's most important to get the block level side to side and parallel to the chassis front to back.
