Depends on the terrain, but I think the most usable would be like 60-70 degrees.

I think a good rule of thumb is enough to be able to fit a tire the same size under it. i.e. raise one corner 4.5" before another tire lifts if running 4.5" tall tires |

so 100* is too much? hmmm...  No really, my 12.5"wb WK is around 6" and it seems to work well for almost all situations. |

Indeed, the 1::1 crawlers could easily get over 80-90 degrees, yet the choose not to. I defer to the knowledge of those who get paid to know...
