I've got some thoughts on this, which I need to do myself. If you store your car on jack stands, level the floor. It's as easy as putting plywood or stacking 1/8th 12"x12" sticky floor tiles under the stands. You don't need to get crazy and level the whole car. Just level the 2 fronts and 2 rears to each other. Or level the 2 sides to each other. You want to avoid stressing the tub at an angle and tweaking a corner. I'd do this for sure if I was welding in any stiffening.
