Fork lip? Not sure what you are talking about.
The fork has the steer tube, two fork legs, and dropouts. There is also a place to put the lower bearing race onto and sometimes u-brake mounts.

45 degrees or a little shallower. You don't want it to be to flat or else it won't kick off nicely, but you don't want it so steep that it hangs up on everything.
The main thing is to have it between about 30 and 50 degrees and have it come in fairly close to your wheel so if you land close to your wheel/fork, it kicks it off nicely onto the peg.
