2 things here (and I apologize if this is brief, I’m on set at the moment). The answer to your actual question is that you dynamically balance without those cables. Get the rig into DB with all those cables disconnected, then add them. Now rebalance the sled using only the Topstage and gimbal (do not move anything on the base of the rig). The rig will still be in dynamic balance. 


However, in most circumstances with most rigs dynamic balance only affects the tilt axis of the rig, and only while panning. Unless parts of the base of your rig are offset to one side, and your horizon only goes off while panning, your horizon issue is more than likely completely unrelated to dynamic balance.
