So I am remodeling the bathroom and got a stamped steel bath tub with a styrofoam pad on the underside side of it. I have a question about the instructions or lack there of. It says to nail a ledger board on the back wall that is level. I got that in no problem. Now the floors on my 30 year old house are not that level. So the instructions say to use shims to level the tub. It says to use shims in conjuction with the foam pad. Surely that does not mean to try and shim the pad? I ended up putting the shims along the front of the tub. Is it going to be ok leave them there? I only had to shim to the most of 3/16 of an inch.

Thanks,
Scott
