[Tigers] Rear axle end play shims

As best I can tell he is asking for the shims at the outer end of the 
AXLE bearing, not the pinion or carrier shims that would be readily 
available. Given the unique hubs on the rear of the Tiger I doubt most 
4X4 or other Dana 44 shops would carry the shims. On the stock set up 
there is I believe roughly a .004 end play that the two axles and a 
short center piece in the differential need.
