Don't forget the front mounts or you'll be leaning forward. What I did was I took a piece of tin and put underneat, then took my MIG welder and just built it up. Let it cool. Ground it down. then repeated. I think thats the toughest easiest way to go.

what i was thinkin of doing becuase its the front body mount was just takin a strip of metal and going from one body mount to the other on both sides to keep it level
