If the back of a Base Cabinet falls short of the
Base Cabinet Index Line, the Base Cabinet will require
Preleveling.
Place shims under the cabinet sides at the back to bring
it into alignment with the Index Line prior to proceeding
with the next cabinet.
Shims used in this location should be 4” to 6” in length
and ripped (untapered) from solid 2” x 4” lumber to the
thickness needed.
