Default cornerweighting - roll-off pads, laser levelers

I am thinking of welding up a set of roll-off pads b/c $900 seems ridiculous for a set of aluminum boxes.
Anyone have any suggestions on where to get the little screw-in leveling feet?

Also - is a laser leveling kit (like the $260 ART) required, or is it possible to get by with a $15 laser and some other procedure?

Thanks.

I just shoot mine off a laser level from one pad, and adjust the other 3 to match

Home Depot probably has screw-in feet... or MSC Direct?

You could definitely make your own. mcmaster-carr should have some feet you can put on. Our's uses all thread turned down to go in to some plastic feet.

don't waste your time with the laser levels. Use a water level, a machinist level, or a surveying transit.
