Craftsman Lift + Harley Adapters?

I wonder if anyone has used this combination with a 2007 Dyna (Street Bob)?

The Craftsman jack above has a clearance of 3 1/2" and weighs only 44
lbs. I have to keep the lift in the basement and carry it up and I
have to work on a gravel driveway (or the front sidewalk I guess) --
no garage. I have to see what kind of clearance I have and if I have
enough room to get the jack in there with the adapters on the bottom
of the frame but I am not totally sure how far the adapters hang below
the frame -- anyone have that measurement? Thanks!

The 2x4 takes the place of the adapters from Harley? Any experience with the yellow jack?

I use the combo your asking about for my 07 Street Bob. It was a hassle first time but easy as pie now. No measurement though.

I use the yellow jack like you posted and the adapters...the first time using it took some dexterity, but the 2nd time was easy.

The spacers hang 1 11/16" below the frame.
