I hung my cabinets in my laundry room in a similar manner - mainly because I
was doing it myself without a second pair of hands to hold them while I
mounted them. I ripped a 1x8 on a 45 degree angle. I then screwed one
half to the wall with the bevel sloping down, and bolted the other 1/2 to
the cabinet. A 1x2 spacer at the bottom kept thing straight and was able
to lift the cabinets on the wall and then put a couple screws in thru the
1x2 to hold things on the wall.
