IF you are saying the tub is 1/4" out of level from one end to the other, what is the problem? The only problem would be a tile line, and since the bottom tile can be cut to fit the tub, AND a 1/4" would NEVER be noticable anyway, just put the tub in. Side note. If the tub does not have feet to sit on the floor, and many do not, the ledger board DOES support the tub. (Most tubs have a tile flange which does an amirable, and adequate, job of stiffening them, and they are used with cast iron tubs which you would NEVER bend by sitting on the edge of it)

HJ,
If you can't see 1/4" off-level over a 5' length then you and I have different eye sight.

Further more would be the problem with the shower doors, regardless of the adjustable rollers in the header. They will really look cock-eyed.

Hey, wait a minute.

This is awkward, but...
