Pallets or plywood, ratchet straps and some shims. The subs aren't that big and neither are the mains - just use some shims to get it level and pallets or plywood to keep it off the ground and strap it all together and you'll be fine.

I like carrying around these for shims

JP recommends 620 but I think they moved onto thermal fitting their barrels. 620 is good up to 500 degrees, so you should be ok unless you magdump a D60 or something.

If you've got a 0.001 gap on both sides, then you can wrap a shim and thermal fit it like in the video. I think thats the best move, but I suck at shooting so my advice should be taken with a grain of salt.

Sorry, totally forgot to respond to your message! After I leveled the two uprights, the one further from the garage door pretty much sits flush to the floor even when extended. The one closer to the garage door sits slightly off the ground, so I have to shim it whenever I set it up for lifting. I use two of these. Hope that helps!

The search term you're looking for is "cable trays." There are hundreds of variants, but something like this might work for you. Lifehacker also has a tag for DIY cable management. You want a cable tray that can sit between the two tables.

Or if you really just want to keep the tables with a half inch gap or so between them and have the cables drop down to the floor (but please, for the love of all that is holy, put in a decent cable management system instead), you could stick some shims (or even cheaper) pointy end down between the two tables on each end.

Plastic shim stock can be stacked to make every one of those incremental thicknesses. Glue some together or something if you don't want to stack them.
