how does my pinion angle look??

hmmm... according to Pauls High Performance if you drop your truck 2" the pinion angle angle is increased to 2 degree's negative. Meaning it will hook a lot better.
So being that you dropped it 5" I'm GUESSING you are about 4-6 degrees negative pinion angle. That is provided that you didn't Shim the angle of the rear end.
However, the only way, ONLY WAY to be sure is to measure it.
Measure the angle and report back

Second of all, it's hard to tell without a gauge on it, but from your pic, your pinion angle looks POSITIVE at rest. That's not good.

You can't guess, you need to measure your actual truck. If you don't feel comfortable doing it, you can have a good speed shop or chassis shop do it. You will need shims, and also new spring pack bolts to take up the extra distance of the shims. You wan't about -3* for a street driven truck.
