Eastside, that is quite the differential, 3" out of level? I thought mine was bad at 3/4" of an inch.
I did do something similar when I did my kitchen, but my cabinets did not have the 3" kick plate on the bottom, I did build a level platform of 1 x 3's and 1/2" plywood to mount the cabinets on. This made a good base after which it also was easy to apply a kick plate moulding.
The brand "L" cabinets have the 3" kick plate on them so you will have to cautious of how tall your counter height ends up. Is there any chance of fixing the high spot?, as this will definately stick out like a sore thumb.
