If you're running the cv style rear shaft, it would seem to me that the degree of incline needed to point the pinion at the proper angle, would be outside of what a shim would provide. typically you would need to remove the spring perches and rotate the axle where it needs to be, and re-weld the perches. At least that's how it's handled on a jeep.
