With everything set on the bottle jacks and the stand set to it's smallest or lowest dimension, I can get the tires off the ground. I don't have any idea how compressed the TK5s get. With 21" I can get the jack under the plane and I have enough throw on the jack to get the tires off the ground no matter what. I hope this helps some.
