A slab is always a good place... if your stand is good you shouldn't have any problems about losing level.

well i built it so who know..haha.. im pretty sure it will be fine, it was engineered to hold like 5 times the forseen weight being put on it. Took awhile but i crunched the numbers and it will be more than sufficient..
..p.s. ur build is looking great
