Rear departure angle?

I've looked around a bit, have not found this info anywhere.

I'm looking for the departure angle for the rear of the long wheelbase Transit. Preferably for both the long and extended bodies.

We have a slightly uphill driveway and I'd like to see if I have a chance of getting a van (any of 'em, really) in the driveway without grabbing one on a test drive.

Heck, it could really decide whether I continue with my plans and ideas for a DIY conversion.

Empty 250 148" WB cargo van (not extended) measures approx. 50" from rear axle centerline to back of bumper. The dimension from ground to bottom of rear bumper is approx. 17"
Sprinter conversion added 2100 lbs with full 24 gallon fresh water and empty 11 gallon gray. Expect Transit to be about 300 lbs less.
