Leaving/shimming cabinets on floor

[P_Bowen]

I am getting set to put my tops on my Lista cabinets, but first I want to level/shim my cabinets. What's the best way to raise the cabinets to the proper height AND avoid any liquid from getting under the cabinets? These cabinets are pretty heavy without tools. I want something that will keep the cabinets at the proper height over time.

Are shims good enough?

Just use metal or hardwood shims and keep them back from the front side and add a kick or if the kick is already done then use 1/4 round and caulk.
