    I have a few areas of the garage that are sloped in a way that it's a challenge for me to get my games pitched correctly. I have the head on the down-slope side -- the garage door side. A few games sit at 5.0° when I'd rather have them at 6.0°+

    I typically put new leg levelers on my pins, and then I put "carpet slider" disks underneath them.
    I typically have the rear legs out "all the way", and the front legs in "all the way"
    Sometimes I put "two sliders" under the pin in the back side.

    The more I raise my game, the more "wobbly" it becomes.

    What's the best way to get a little more height in the back when on a slope?

    thanks,

    Quoted from freddy:

    i assume you mean an inch.

    One degree.
    I suppose that would translate to roughly 1/4" - 1/2".

    Quoted from exflexer:

    Do you take the leg leveler bolts off the front to get an extra 1/2 inch of travel?

    Good point, I'll check. I do for sure when I replace the levelers.

    Quoted from Excalabur:

    Degree = °.
    Foot = '.
    I was very confused when I read the thread title. I second the board plan--if you put a lip on it they mostly don't fall off, either. Just buy a furniture-style plank that's like 1" thick by 6-8" wide and run it all the way across the wall for all your pins to sit on.

    I don't have the keyboard skills to make the "°"

    Ok, now I do -- (option-shift-8).

    Quoted from Shoot_Again:

    I also jack them up in the back with a board under the legs. You can put on longer levelers.
    Flash Gordon is even more challenging with boards in the back

    Who sells longer leg levelers?

    What's the advantage of inserting two legs into the same board?
