Weld in SFC question

So I ordered some weld in Umi SFC but today while I was under my car I noticed that the front ears or horns that the SFC will wild onto is not a flat surface. They look indented alot, like the previous owner had jacked it up from that location but had put some dents in there and left it smashed in on some portions. Any way to fix this dilemma? or would it effect the SFC when they get welded in??

One more question, does the suspension have to be loaded when you weld in SFC? Of can you use a tuck lift and just let the tires hang down?
