Dissapointed but not giving up: some questions

[1LargeDog]

I am starting on a garage re-do and had my heart set on the New Age Pro series systems. I liked the fact that they were 18 ga steel vs their 24 ga line. That being said, I was about to pull the trigger on the 8 piece set when I said to myself, dummy, go in the garage and do some measurements. The pro series tall cabinets are 85" not counting the legs which in my case would need to be adjusted almost all the way open under the garage door for leveling, needing close to 90" of clearance. I measured from the bottom of the door track to the floor and only had 84.5" of clearance. Bummer.

So, my question here to those who have either the New Age cabinet systems in either gauges: will the 24 gauge be worth it. Does it truly feel flimsy or does it come together nicely once assembled? I really liked the 24" depth of the Pro but I also like the compact design of the 18" Bold series for additional floor clearance. Sure do wish New Age made the 77" high cabinets in 18 ga.

Your thoughts and ideas will be appreciated. Thanks.

Not sure if I was looking at the right product but they seem to have feet at each corner. Is there a way to install them without the feet? Then level them with some other means? Wood shims perhap...

Is the there enough room to raise the track?

Do you have a Sawzall?

Personally, I wouldn't want feet...unless they were at least 8" long. Anything less and you can't use underneath for storage of flat ****....but all the junk and dirt will end up there.

Definitely need the feet as there is a slope in my garage. The cabinets are already an inch higher than the track and there is no way to raise them.

I did a bunch of research on them this afternoon and I think I can live with the Bold series. I would end up with three additional cabinets at a 600 savings overall. Most reviews were positive as well.
