Composite shims.

As stated...normal composite shims. They are much stronger and hold up better than the wood shims.

Okay thanks guys. I was thinking ripping a 2x4 the length of the entire stand

That is gonna be tough unless it is off the same amount all the way across...chances are you would still need shims to make small corrections anyways. I would probably just start with shims and see if you can level it that way.
