Full extension means the slides allow the drawer to come out fully, or the length of the slides. If the slide is 22", the drawer comes out of the from the edge of the cabinet 22" in the case of the 3834, the drawer comes out 23".

I don't understand "to the floor"?

Are you replacing the entire kitchen of just that area? Upper cabinets should never sit on the counter. The standard height is 18" between counter and the lower edge of uppers. This way, there's no interference issues like you have now. What type of hinges are you using and what typr of problem are you having with them? Normally hinges do not wear out. The only reason they wear is because they bind and aren't installed correctly. Upon opening doors, the force on a binding hinge eventually wear out the moving parts. Those hinges can be adjusted 6 ways. Most hinges break is because they aren't adjusted correctly.

Bran door tracks are fine but a bottom track is often needed unless a small guide is installed and a dado (a channel) is cut on the bottom of every door.

that's a strange area to have a counter there with cabinets recessed into the wall. What's behind it? What's up above in the soffit? Personally, I would make the soffit go away, run cabinets all the way up to the ceiling and have the standard cavity between counter and bottom of upper cabinets.
