Need to figure out something on DL. Back's still a bit off, and the slant in my garage floor makes these annoying. Gonna have to level the platform somehow

I have a decent slope in my garage too. The obvious solution is to shim the platform with rubber shims, however, my platform is 8x8 and shimming only helped a little. If you want to get totally serious, you can buy self leveler concrete, build a frame, pour the leveler, let it dry, then assemble your platform over it. another former member did it that way, but it seems like too much trouble to me so i just deal with it.
