you can fabricate up a little plate that sits between the headmount and the tripod legs that way your leveling it with the load on though its much harder to make fine adjustments.
As i use EQmod and eqmod is hevily dependant on accuracy for polar alignment and polar alignment is dependant to a degree with your initial balance i just level the legs off with a accurate bubble level in three directions and make sure that the mount is pointing as close to due south as possible (ferrous materials dodged :S). but the polar alginment is a big one! get that and your slews will be accurate enough to drop targets on CCD's
