Body Mount / Hardtop adjustment

I have everything screwed up! I have a new urethane body mount kit installed and a double wall top that I just bought cause mine was shot. I am trying to shim the body a little to make the doors align and the top fit better but I am having some trouble. Basically it seems that the body has a low point in the middle of it. The top will not sit down on the bed rails especially right behind the doors. I feel like I need to raise the floorboard area, but I haven't been able to find a combination of shims that work.

OK, long story short, can anyone suggest which body bolts I should shim the most to help this? The one in the floorboard, the one right behind the seats, the one right behind that...?

By the way, my torsion boxes and windshield frame are in surprisingly good shape, but the floor pans are a little weak.
