I would contact an alignment shop, they can tell you what the caster angle should be and then you can work it out from there. Of course if your crossmember is stripped that might be difficult in which case try someone like Fatman Fabrication. Remember though to have the frame at the attitude that it will be when your ride is finished, when you set in the crossmember. Or at least know what it will be and compensate accordingly.
Good luck,
Scott

With your frame at desired rake set your crossmember at 0 deg, cross check with a bubble level.
