This question is just for my own learning. I've read a many ways to level the tub.
I have a Bootz Maui cast tub with a foam support pad under it. The instructional video says the foam pad should be in full contact with the sub floor, but then says to use wooden shims to level the tub if it is necessary. The tub is 3/8 out of level side to side. If I place3/8 shims on the back side (ledger board side) the foam will no longer be in full contact with the sub floor. The weight will now be on the foam shim interface and the apron.
What Am I missing? Somewhere I am making this too complicated
Keep in mind I am the type that prefers a 9 inch bolt and 8,000 Ft Lbs of torque when instructions call for a 3/8 bolt and 5 inch Lbs of torque...
