They will push out generally since the top ring is your "fixed" point. I helped the mother-in-law set up one of these Wally 24" Intex pools. She too is on year 2 with a salt water system as the only upgrade from standard.
The pool top ring is a T-total B$%$# to put together as moose said above, so drink lots of beer before installing. We leveled the pool area using the string method also and were within about an 1". No pads were used because the ground is hard Mississippi red clay underneath. As moose said, the pool will move and shift as water is added, so plan accordingly.
I can measure the top ring diameter for you tonight after work if you would like? It will be late tonight though.
