I have the 5000SLX and it offers plenty of space for my smallish frame (34" waist) on a creeper. If you're circumference-challenged you might find the extra 3" worthwhile, however.

Default Nice work!

So, where did you get those rollers? How about a little info on your design? I really like that!

Just went on Amazon and bought the cheapest trolley jack. And the rollers came from Amazon also. I usually don't buy tools there but it's only lifting tires. Rollers are 10" long. I took the end off the jack arm and drilled out the fastener that holds the swivel. I welded that angle iron to the jack pad. The end of that jack comes apart by removing three snap rings and one pin. The angle iron welded to that jack head is 1 1/2 x 1 1/2 x 14". The ends are 10" same as the rollers. The rollers are 14" on center. Tops of rollers are at 8," and 16" when raised. But the tire dips lower into that cradle. I think it's 6".
