If your surface isn't flat and level you need to shim your frame supports (jack stands) to get the frame level. Using a cheap 360 degree Lazer level and a tape measure can get you with in the 1/8 of level needed for most vehicles.
Once again if you've already done this please accept my apology. I've seen to many cars marginalized by poorly installed subframe connectors and/or roll bars.

That is a good point, and one I thought of before tightening everything down this morning.
I had the rear higher so I had room to work and get everything in, but I moved the jack stands to where the axle would be to try and simulate where the weight would be and levelled it out front to rear best I could before tightening all the bolts.
