Now, what that degree needs to be set at is a whole nother story.

Yep, I agree with alchemy on the pie splices. I was just going to wait to see what you ended up with before getting into that part of it. If it is a cast axle you will not be bending it, anyway not intentionally! And castor degrees are like oil, everyone has a different idea what is best. I would shoot for around 4° as a starting point and then we can debate what is idea.
