My water line is right at the rim line on the low end so when the return is on I never see the water line. If I shimmed I think that the space along the floor line might drive me crazy.
I stuck the crowbar under.. put a block and pressed down as a pushed the shim in and moved along the edge as needed.. As it was in carpet,etc.. you couldn't even see the shims as I only needed like 1/4" or so and that stayed hidden in the carpet..
It really wasn't that hard at all...

I move 8-10k pound machines at work all the time rearranging the factory with just a 6ft riggers pry bar/boards to get it up then onto rollers or whatever as needed.. That typically takes 2 guys on the bar but sometimes its quite amazing what a simple lever allows you to do
