The walls are cinderblock, not solid or poured concrete.

I'm thinking I could by about 4 12' and 2 6' sections of wood (2x4?) and
frame it all out with brackets. *Then level with shims and bolt into the
cinderblock with lag bolts or tapcon screws.

I would love to hear any ideas on this. *I don't think it's an overtly

Thanks!

You don't want concrete mix to level the floor, it has srones/
aggregate in it that will not allow you to completely level the
floor. You a mix with only sand and cement. I sure wouldn't use
wood, that is just asking for trouble, as well as losing ceiling
clearance.
