Thanks all for your suggestions and help. I will look for those things the next time.

Using the door shims is a good idea but it could be hard to line up the wheels given the shims are barely 1.5" wide.
I previously tried to cut a wedge from a 2x4 but no luck so...
Thanks for this great thread.
I don't plan to get a track saw as I don't use frequently enough to justify the cost and also not having much storage space in my garage.
I bought this...

Given I don't have my own dedicated...
